"So full of insightful, science-based tips! As adults, we often do not understand the behaviours of children, but when we consider the brain development happening over time, then understanding, supporting, and embracing our children' s growth becomes much easier and more rewarding. By unravelling the mysteries of how brains evolve over time, this book equips readers with the tools to deeply connect with their children' s developmental journey, transforming challenges into opportunities for bonding and mutual growth. Shahista has combined years as an educator, academic and mother to craft a valuable reference for parents of this new generation! "
