Imperfect Dad MD Podcast with Dr Jeremy Toffle
Balancing Your Child's Left and Right Brains
Show Notes

Have you ever heard the idea of someone being more left-sided or right-sided when it comes to their brain?   Have you ever asked yourself which category you fall in?  What about your kids?

Lately I have been rereading (ie listening on Audible) the book "The Whole Brain Child" by Drs. Daniel Siegel, MD and Tina Payne Bryson, PhD.  The book focuses on various parts of the brain and how we can utilize this knowledge to better understand our kids' responses to various situations and improve our own responses at the same time.  In today's show, I give an example of a real life event that happened today and how I was able to bring my right-sided brain child back to the middle.  But don't you worry!  I also discuss how I FAILED to do this in another scenario - I mean we are Imperfect, right?

This is the LAST WEEK to sign up for the Marriage and Money MD Conference coming this November 15-17.   21 physicians and physician spouses will be speaking about marital communication, investing, conflict resolution, intimacy, financial planning, and so much more.  You will also be eligible for up to 20 AMA PRA Category 1 credits for attending!  You can check it out and sign up for free.
