Smart parenting, smarter kids : the one brain book you need to help your child grow brighter, healthier, and happier / Pre-publication title: Nurturing your child's intelligence David Walsh. - 1st Free Press hardcover ed. - New York : Free Press, 2011. - viii, 292 p. ; 24 cm.

Our children's amazing brains -- How to raise your child's IQ -- How the brain listens, speaks, reads, and writes -- Memory, attention, and the rule of seven -- Brain food : nutrition and the brain -- Play is serious business -- Brain workouts : why exercise is critical -- Your brain's at work while you snooze -- Self-discipline : the key to success -- A brain under construction : the adolescent years -- Boy and girl brains : what's the difference? -- Stress and the brain -- Cyber brains : parenting in an online world -- Wired differently : special needs brains, mental illness, and chemical use -- Brain-wise daycare, preschool, and school decisions -- The 21st-century parent.
When children are guided in healthy ways, their minds blossom and they are able to reach their full potential--academically, socially, physically, and emotionally. In his previous bestseller, Why Do They Act That Way?, Dr. David Walsh, an expert at translating cutting-edge neuroscience findings into practical parenting suggestions, showed how to manage the difficult teenage years by understanding how the adolescent brain develops. Now he's written a complete guide to parenting from birth through the teen years, with recommendations that will help maximize any child's potential. Some discoveries in neuroscience confirm age-old parental wisdom, while others may prompt you to make immediate changes; still other brain discoveries help explain behaviors that have puzzled parents forever. This book doesn't just describe new findings or explain interesting facts--it equips parents with usable information across a range of topics, like exercise, nutrition, play, sleep, stress, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and connection.--From publisher description.
