Written in plain English with warmth, humour and lots of lightbulb moments, this book distils complex neuroscience into practical insights any parent, teacher or caregiver will find invaluable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll discover how the four key parts of the brain develop at different stages, why the teenage brain is effectively 'shut for renovations' for several years, and what this means for discipline, learning, emotions and decision-making. Along the way, Wallis explores brain plasticity, how to strengthen it and even how damaged brains can heal — offering hope not just for children, but for adults too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on decades of experience as a father, foster parent, child counsellor, lecturer and sought-after international speaker, Wallis brings science to life in a way that's engaging, entertaining and genuinely life-changing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548214280428,"sku":"9781991142658","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781991142658.jpg?v=1776740069","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/what-were-you-thinking-by-nathan-wallis-9781991142658","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
