The Yes Brain Child
Dr Daniel J. Siegel and Dr Tina Payne Bryson

There’s some useful advice if you dip in and out of The Yes Brain Child. It aims to help you develop resilience in children as they grow, helping them learn to deal with situations they find difficult.

According to the thinking in the book, children’s brains are either in a reactive (no) state which makes them inhibited. Or, they are in a receptive (yes) state which enables creativity and resilience.

There’s so many different parenting philosophies and thinking out there and this is just another one. If you are struggling with under confident children, this could be worth a read.

Bonkers
Olivia Siegl

If you’re a poe-faced misery like me, you will never find another mum’s ‘honest’ tales of motherhood hilarious. Other people’s experiences of motherhood are rarely hilair in their race to the bottom competition to win Benign Neglect of the Year award.

Written with a blend of childish potty mouth and middle class angst, Olivia Siegl’s ranty book is a published Mummy Blog, that talks about the ‘crazy’ and ‘bonkers truth’ about motherhood. If you feel you need to read this book to feel empowered, you will be better off seeking medical advice from your health visitor.
