Parenting is about to get easier–and a whole lot more effective….

In a time when so many children and young adults seem to be struggling, parents are looking for help in bringing up mentally healthy kids who are equipped to thrive. Finally, evidence-based help is now available for overwhelmed parents who are trying their best but feel like they’re falling short.

#1 New York Times bestselling author and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen and child psychologist Dr. Charles Fay have teamed up to reveal what’s missing from most parenting books. It’s the fact that you need to address both the brain and the mind of your child (and yourself) in order to effectively raise good and strong humans.

In this groundbreaking book where neuroscience meets love and logic, parents are given practical tools to help children of all ages go from behavioral problems like defiance, meltdowns, and power struggles to being:

  • Responsible, confident, kind, and resilient
  • Better prepared to make good decisions
  • More focused and motivated
  • Better able to have healthy relationships, and more….

Let Dr. Amen and Dr. Fay help you learn how to be the parent you’ve always dreamed you could be—and raise great kids who are on their way to reaching their full potential, including their best possible mental health.

    I brought this book after listening to Dr. Amen on a podcast. As a therapist, this book has been a great resource to help the parents of the families I serve to be mindful of the brain health of themselves and their children. The book offers great psychoeducation for parents to identify what is normal behavior developmentally for children as well as solution to help enforce positive behavioral changes as needed. Highly recommned!

    Excellent book that every parent should read or listen to. Unlike other parenting books that are preachy, this one talks about different styles of parenting and how they can affect your child's brain. I learned a lot from this book. It would also make a great gift for new parents.

    We've all heard a young parent's lament: "I wish my baby had come with a manual!" Well guess what! They DO now! Whether you are parents to be, have a new baby or older kiddo and wonder about your parenting skills - this incredible book by Dr. Amen - is the BEST I have ever read! From birth through those challenging teen years and beyond ... what a game changer! Buy this! Highly recommend, and as a great grandmother, wish this had been available back in 1960's through the 1990's for me. Even touches on things like if divorce happens in your family. Such a valuable resource. I read the whole book before I sent it off to my grandson and his wife to enjoy as a wonderful resource for their two baby girls. Yes, it does touch on everything from toddler tantrums to when to let your daughter date! The perfect child rearing "manual", written in very easy to digest chapters and for everyone's ability to grasp.
