Parenting From the Inside Out
July 13, 2009
KCET Blog – The Guest Room
by Matthew Williams
I approached my daughter’s day care teacher for suggestions and she pointed me towards a seminar called Parenting from the Inside Out. Led by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, a clinical professor from UCLA, the seminar was billed as way to explore the internal world of parenting through an examination of emotional childhood memories, storytelling, and brain function. Siegel claims that undergoing a “self-understanding process” leads to the development of what he calls a “secure attachment” with your child, helping them to thrive and you to retain your sanity.

When Siegel was a med student, he was actively discouraged from finding out what patients were thinking.

Brain Boosters

Medicine may allow us to challenge our genetic inheritance and repair insults to the brain, whether as Alzheimer’s sufferers or moody, forgetful people and hazy thinkers. Some researchers are hoping to develop more natural methods that could have the same IQ-boosting effect in healthy people as drugs and other treatments. The adult brain has turned out to have a surprising ability to extensively reconfigure its connections through mental exercises. Most of us have parts of our brains that are relatively neglected, says Daniel Siegel, an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA Medical School, and we can restore them by techniques such as focusing on nonverbal cues when we’re conversing with other people, being more aware of what we’re thinking, and easing up on the multitasking. “When you do several things at once you tend to do them on autopilot, and fail to engage the parts of the brain that form strong neural connections,” explains Siegel.
