Although I am not a parent nor a therapist (nor do I care to be one), I read this book based off of a recommendation because of my fascination with how the mind works. The information was insightful and interesting. I am thankful for the few psychology classes I had took years ago as this is very neuroscience heavy (as the title obviously expresses). Although, admittedly, some information was more difficult to grasp, overall this book is a great read for anyone who is interested in learning more about how one's brain effects and can be affected by child rearing. Not only does it give a glimpse at how your own childhood has shaped you (and your possible care-giving), but it also looks at how you can take control and consciously work on improving your relationship with your child through neuroscience.
