Description

“Thinking Developmentally is a must-read primer for anyone caring for or about children. I learned so much from reading this book. Drs Garner and Saul synthesize the latest neuroscience and developmental research and translate it into clear and practical advice. We are in a moment of national awakening to the lifelong effects of childhood adversity. Thinking Developmentally offers an evidence-based road map for building a healthier future for the next generation.”

Author of The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity

Lifelong health is rooted in childhood experiences. Thinking Developmentally presents a clinical framework for understanding the impact of toxic stress and both adverse and affiliative childhood experiences on development. It makes a compelling case that many diseases of adulthood are not adult-onset, but rather adult-manifest, based on genetic and epigenetic consequences from early childhood experiences.

Garner and Saul examine the needs of children and the role of parents, caregivers, the community, and medical practitioners in ensuring that children have safe, stable, and nurturing relationships. They explore community empowerment and offer suggestions for applying developmental science to help bring about healthy children, nurturing families, and caring communities.
