The whole-brain child

A whole-brain child is one whose emotions aren't seen as problems to be fixed but as information to be understood, whose logical mind is developed alongside their capacity to feel and relate. Building this integration requires parents who can stay present with tears and big feelings instead of rushing to eliminate them.
