by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D.June 14, 2010
We are now between the two public holidays honoring mothers and fathers.

In the entry of this column before today, we've been exploring the science of attachment and of the brain to focus on what research tells us about how parents and other caregivers can have a profound effect on how a young child grows.

Parenting From the Inside Out
by Matthew WilliamsJuly 13, 2009
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.

Brain Boosters
by David H. FreedmanJune 27, 2009
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.

Attachment: The Key to Thriving Kids?

"What if you possessed a secret formula that made your child smarter, more independent, more secure—a kid capable of forming deep and loving relationships, showing compassion for others, and having a true connection to her parents? Well there is no secret formula, but there is a secret...Daniel Siegel, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry at the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development at UCLA, and author of the seminal book "The Developing Mind" and "Parenting from the Inside Out," specializes in the study of attachment. He describes it as something of a magic bullet when it comes to child development."

Mind Over Matters Through Meditation
by Catherine GuthrieDecember 01, 2008
"Relaxation is good, but it doesn't provide the physiological changes you see in mindfulness practice," says Daniel J. Siegel, MD, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and author of The Mindful Brain. Even better, says Siegel, there's no need to log hours on the meditation cushion."The brain responds to repetition with more gusto than it does to duration," he says. . . "Just as people practice daily dental hygiene by brushing their teeth, mindfulness meditation is a form of brain hygiene—it cleans out and strengthens the synaptic connections in the brain."

Gazzaniga, Jonathan Haidt, Antonio Damasio and Marc D. Hauser if you want to get up to speed), you can see that certain beliefs will spread into the wider discussion."

"If there's one thing that leaps out of all the brain literature, it is that, as Daniel J. Siegel puts it, 'emotion serves as a central organizing process within the brain.' Kids learn from people they love. If we want young people to develop the social and self-regulating skills they need to thrive, we need to establish stable long-term relationships between love-hungry children and love-providing adults."

by Mary Sykes WylieSeptember 01, 2004
"In 1999, a few months after child psychiatrist Daniel Siegel's book The Developing Mind: Toward a Neurobiology of Interpersonal Experience was published, Siegel received an e-mail, purporting to be from a representative of Pope John Paul II, asking him to come to the Vatican to talk to the Pope. Thinking the e-mail was a prank, Siegel ignored it--why would the Pope invite an expert on the neurobiology of childhood attachment over to the Vatican to schmooze?" (September/October 2004 Issue)

Challenges Facing Today's Children
by Richard MahlerJune 25, 2009
Today's children swim through a shifting sea of digital data, hooked by invisible lines to a flotilla of powerful and seductive electronic devices. They are challenged, like the rest of us, by a culture that relies upon cellphones, computers, televisions, and other means of speed-of-light communication. How this impacts the minds of young people - and everyone else - is a key interest of child psychiatrist Daniel Siegel, a keynote speaker at the upcoming National Institutes of Health Mind-Body Week. (The first annual conference, held Sept. 8-11 in Bethesda, Maryland, will focus on the science and practice of yoga, meditation, and other stress management modalities.)

An Audience with the Pope

For Santa Monica scientist Daniel Siegel, his recent visit with Pope John Paul II went a little differently. After Siegel, a Harvard and UCLA-trained child psychiatrist, wrote a book on the development of the brain, papal officials called him to the Vatican to laud him for his achievements."
