Understanding Your Child's Brain simplifies the neuroscience behind what is going on in a child’s brain during the first six years of life to help parents develop the full intellectual and emotional potential of their children. The book starts with an accessible explanation of the pillars and principals to understanding the child’s brain.

Review :
'Understanding Your Child's Brain includes common sense, easy to understand tools and strategies that are grounded in science to help parents and educators manage the everyday challenges encountered when raising and teaching children. Throughout the book, Dr. Bilbao explains principles of psychology, child development, and neuroscience to help the reader understand not just how to interact more positively and effectively with children but also why the techniques described facilitate healthy psychological and neurological development. This book absolutely will help parents to more fully understand their child’s brain.' Beth Slomine, Director, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Services, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Baltimore 'A book all adults should read.' Javier Ortigosa, Psychotherapist, Spain 'In this well written and easy to read book for parents, Álvaro Bilbao, PhD, a neuropsychologist and father of three, gives insight into how a child’s early brain development shapes their world and affects their learning and behavior. Drawing on years of clinical practice and sound neuroscience, Dr. Bilbao provides parents with practical, age-appropriate strategies for everyday life to foster a child’s intellectual and emotional growth to help them reach their full potential. I highly recommend this book to all those raising young children.' Margaret B. Pulsifer, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School
