If you are not the leader in your household, the plain-English explanations of developmental psychology, the brain research, and the case examples in ​Parents in Charge will fascinate you and empower you to step unapologetically into the position of an authoritative parent. You will understand that the structured and consistent environment that good boundaries create gives your children real freedom. The book discusses how parenting casts light on your childhood memories and experiences, and it explains the differences between the cultures of early childhood and adulthood. Vivid examples of the differences in how children and adults experience time, language, and consequences will lead you to chuckle in recognition and relief. The book also sweats the small stuff: writing thank you notes, calling adults by their first names, and the need to rethink birthday parties with bulging party bags.
Coauthored by my well-respected neuropsychologist colleagues, Dr. Leonard Koziol and Dr. Deborah Budding, this book is a must for anyone who is committed to keeping pace with our understanding of brain function as the field evolves.
