Never heard of Dan Siegel? I am a HUGE FAN...he is an interpersonal neurobiologist. Basically, the study of how relationships affect the brain. He talks a lot about how our interactions with our kids, and how our attachment relationships with our children affect their brain development. He talks a lot about integration of the different parts of the brain and how parents can help children's brains achieve this integration. He wrote the books Mindsight, The Whole-Brain Child, Parenting from the Inside Out, and a few more...
Here is a lecture series with Dr. Siegel, talking about steps to build kindness and resilience in our children. He talks about taking the difficult moments and turning them into experiences that foster these. I found it very thought provoking and interesting. It reminds us how important it is to respond to our kids with respect, understanding, and empathy.
