Reviews for Parenting the Whole Child
"Shannon attempts to keep the diagnostic-labeling fad at bay by highlighting the importance of examining the whole child. . . . As a child and adolescent healthcare provider, I support the way Shannon encourages the public to think about children and their brains in nuanced terms and to take a holistic approach to their well-being. . . . Shannon has written a must-read for parents."
PsychCentral "A tremendously important book . . . wonderfully clear and well written and easy to read and learn from."
