""Understanding the female brain is not just about biology; it’s about embracing the complexity of women’s emotions, relationships, and experiences that shape our lives.""
Since Dr. Brizendine wrote The Female Brain ten years ago, the response has been overwhelming. This New York Times bestseller has been translated into more than thirty languages, has sold nearly a million copies between editions, and has most recently inspired a romantic comedy starring Whitney Cummings and Sofia Vergara. And its profound scientific understanding of the nature and experience of the female brain continues to guide women as they pass through life stages, to help men better understand the girls and women in their lives, and to illuminate the delicate emotional machinery of a love relationship. Why are women more verbal than men? Why do women remember details of fights that men can’t remember at all? Why do women tend to form deeper bonds with their female friends than men do with their male counterparts? These and other questions have stumped both sexes throughout the ages. Now, pioneering neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, M.D., brings together the latest findings to show how the unique structure of the female brain determines how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and who they love. While doing research as a medical student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty member at Harvard, Louann Brizendine discovered that almost all of the clinical data in existence on neurology, psychology, and neurobiology focused exclusively on males. In response to the overwhelming need for information on the female mind, Brizendine established the first clinic in the country to study and treat women’s brain function. In The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine distills all her findings and the latest information from the scientific community in a highly accessible book that educates women about their unique brain/body/behavior. The result: women will come away from this book knowing that they have a lean, mean, communicating machine. Men will develop a serious case of brain envy.

She is the author of the bestselling books "The Female Brain" and "The Male Brain," which have garnered international acclaim for their insightful exploration of how biological sex influences behavior, cognition, and emotions.

Top Parents Qualities to Possess for Positive Parenting Solution Things Not to Say to Your Kids Ever Things Parents Should Never Do to their Children How to Deal with a Strong Willed Child? Manage your Children through Parenting with Love and Logic Parenting Worksheets to Balance Child's Lifestyle Parenting can be challenging at times, but with guidance from this book, you will be able to fix the little day to day issues so that when big challenges come your way, you will be prepared and confident in your approach. Setting out boundaries from an early age is easier said than done, of course, but as with most parenting strategies: the younger the better. Getting 'em young and purposefully starting parenting with love and logic from the get-go is the way to save a lot of heartache later. Better Safe than Sorry Your child might begin displaying behavioral issues as early as the toddler stage; don't make this the heart-sinking moment when you discover the great gaps in your discipline strategies. No matter how argumentative your young child is, whilst you should try hard not to overreact to defiance, do not shirk from setting out clearly what is expected. As with so much in the parent-child sphere, the motto holds true: lead by example and be consistent. How Parenting the Strong Willed Child Can be Enjoyable In all probability you see and applaud characteristics in your strong-willed child that remind you of yourself, things that made you the success that you are. So while there will also be elements that perplex you and require careful navigation, on balance your strong-willed characterful daughter or son is a blessing requiring nothing but your wise parenting; with love and logic, a strong, independent, interesting and self-determining person will emerge. Bringing up your strong-willed child might mean standing up to those who dub him or her difficult and stubborn. You might have to defend your own methods, too. The type of child who has to learn from experience, seeing in person the consequences of his actions, can seem to be defying authority. Teachers and parents when correcting behavior need to refer matter-of-factly to an established rule as though set in stone and at the same time allow a margin of flexibility where the child can seem to exercise some decision-making power. This might take the form of reminding your kid that homework has to be done before the playing of games on the computer. Then you add: "But if you let me help you with how to set out those math problems on the page, it'll be time for playing before you know it!"
