Fresh Take: Dr. Dan Siegel

What is the "whole-brain perspective" when it comes to parenting, and what does it mean to parent with the brain in mind? Dr. Dan Siegel, founding co-director of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center and Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, and author of the psychology classic THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD, explains how we can help our kids learn from difficult experiences rather than avoid them. 

Dan, Amy, and Margaret discuss:

• What whole-brain integration means
• How neurodivergent brains function
• How parents can help their children lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives
