"Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child's struggles."--Harvey Karp, M.D. "Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have created a masterly, reader-friendly guide to helping children grow their emotional intelligence. This brilliant method transforms everyday interactions into valuable brain-shaping moments. Anyone who cares for children--or who loves a child--should read "The Whole-Brain Child.""--Daniel Goleman, author of" Emotional Intelligence" In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling "Mindsight," and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain--and make accessible--the new science of how a child's brain is wired and how it matures. The "upstairs brain," which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child's brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, "The Whole-Brain Child" shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives. " A] useful child-rearing resource for the entire family . . . The authors include a fair amount of brain science, but they present it for both adult and child audiences.""--Kirkus Reviews" " " "Strategies for getting a youngster to chill out with] compassion.""--The Washington Post" " " "This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read "The Whole-Brain Child." This is my new baby gift."--Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of "Reviving Ophelia" and "The Shelter of Each Other" "Gives parents and teachers ideas to get all parts of a healthy child's brain working together.""--Parent to Parent" No library descriptions found. |

Seversky explained his theories of aviation and long-range bombing as influenced by General Billy Mitchell. Seversky argued that:
1. "The rapid expansion of the range and striking power of military aviation makes it certain that the United States will be as exposed to destruction from the air, within a predictable period, as are the British Isles today;"
2. Those who deny this possibility are exhibiting something like a "Maginot line mentality";
3. The U.S. must begin preparing immediately for "an interhemispheric war direct across oceans;"
4. The U.S. must become the dominant air-power nation, "even as England in its prime was the dominant sea-power nation of the world."
