In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, "parental showing up" might seem difficult. But Siegel and Bryson explain that over the course of childhood one of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out — in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships — is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them.

Other bestsellers about parenting and child development include: [1] The Developing Mind: Toward a Neurobiology of Interpersonal Experience; [2] Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain; [3] The Whole-Brain Child, co-written with Tina Payne Bryson; [4] The Yes Brain, co-written with Tina Payne Bryson; and [5] Parenting from the Inside Out, co-written with Mary Hartzell.

Siegel lives in Los Angeles and is the father of two daughters in their twenties.
