“By paying extra attention to the whole brain child, you are helping them develop all the skill sets necessary to lead honest, compassionate, caring, independent, and fruitful lives.”
Modern parenting is increasingly shaped by research in child psychology, neuroscience, and developmental science. Understanding how children’s brains develop—and how this development influences behavior, emotional regulation, learning, and social interaction—is essential for raising emotionally healthy, resilient children.
In Positive Parenting and Child Development Tips for Every Age, author Bukky Ekine-Ogunlana presents evidence-based parenting strategies informed by over a decade of hands-on work with children and families, combined with practical application from raising her own three children. The book draws on principles from whole-brain development, positive psychology, and behavioral science to help parents support children from early childhood through adolescence.
This research-informed guide explains how the right and left hemispheres of the brain work together to influence emotional control, decision-making, empathy, and social behavior. Parents are shown how to apply developmentally appropriate parenting techniques that improve behavior at home and school while strengthening self-esteem and resilience.
In this evidence-based parenting guide, you will learn:

• Research-supported methods for raising children with strong moral development, motivation, and long-term success
• Positive discipline strategies grounded in behavioral psychology and emotional regulation research
• Practical tools for addressing low self-esteem, anxiety, and self-doubt in children
• Whole-brain parenting techniques that enhance cognitive development, emotional intelligence, and conflict-resolution skills
• Best practices for monitoring and guiding children’s and teens’ social media use based on developmental readiness
• The science behind teaching empathy and prosocial behavior—and how to nurture these skills at every age

Designed for parents of toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers, Positive Parenting and Child Development Tips for Every Age bridges research and real-world application, offering practical tools rooted in science to help children thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
