An excellent introduction to a complex subject

I purchased the book initially for myself as a therapist in order to be able to explain simply to clients how a child's brain works and therefore how theirs worked as children. I also gifted one to a parent/family member.
I have also recommended it to people working with children.
Clearly written, well explained, an excellent introduction to a complex subject

A little disappointing

A little disappointing. Not much content. I would like to have seen more examples or stories about each part of the brain' s reactions to scenarios. It didn't really hold my 6 and 8 year olds attention as written. "Wisewords" needed to be broken down more, and at the beginning of the book not the end. IMO.

The book was well received by my son who has been dealing with a lot since the divorce. He recognised and related to the characters especially the Guard Dog.

Brilliant book! My ten year old really resonated with it and it definitely helped him understand his emotions and how his brain reacts
