COMMUNITY ACTION HEAD START of MARION & POLK COUNTIES is proud to sponsor this presentation by Dr. Bryson, co-author (with Dan Siegel) of The Whole-Brain Child.
"Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of the store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your 5th grader sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field....The "upstairs brain," which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction...And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain...you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child's brain and foster vital growth."
