How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five
Book • 2014
In 'Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five,' John Medina bridges the gap between what scientists know about early childhood brain development and what parents practice.

The book provides practical advice and scientifically-backed insights on how to optimize a child's brain development.

Medina discusses the importance of face time with the mother, the dangers of excessive screen time, and the critical role of teaching impulse control.

He also addresses how maternal stress can impact a child's brain and offers tips on handling temper tantrums and promoting healthy brain activity.

The book is filled with engaging stories, case studies, and summaries of key points to make the scientific information accessible and actionable for parents[1][4][5].
