In Brain-Body Parenting, Dr. Delahooke offers a new approach to parenting, one that focuses on a child’s unique neurobiology. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and Polyvagal theory she shares how parents can shift the focus from solving troublesome behavior to understanding what’s underlying that behavior. Instead of a top-down approach that suggests the brain rules the body, she argues for a “bottom-up” or “body-up” approach that takes into account the essential role of the entire nervous system, with an emphasis on sensory processing. In a narrative that interweaves Dr. Delahooke’s extensive clinical experience with cutting-edge science, Brain-Body Parenting will not only provide parents with the tools to help their child learn to self-regulate challenging emotions, she will also encourage parents to engage in self-care to model healthy emotional regulation and to increase co-regulation, as a shared connection between the parent and child is essential for behavioral changes.
