The revolutionary new book from the internationally bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent.
The revolutionary five-step guide from the internationally bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent.
Dopamine. It's the famous neurotransmitter that you've probably heard a lot about. But while most people associate it with happiness, its key role is motivation.
In modern day, engineers and developers have used their scientific knowledge of how dopamine affects children's brains to sell them screens, games and ultra-processed foods. In Dopamine Kids, internationally bestselling author and long-time reporter for NPR Michaeleen Doucleff empowers parents with this same knowledge, but instead shows them how to utilize it to reinforce habits, activities and lifestyle choices that are healthy and productive.
Through five simple and science-backed steps, she demonstrates how to weaken neurological pathways established by devices and unhealthy foods, then create new pathways that lead children to want high-quality activities - ones that genuinely fulfil their biological and emotional needs. This will give your child a twenty-first-century superpower: the ability to concentrate on challenging tasks for extended periods of time, without distraction.
A practical and accessible guide, this book shows parents how to harness the power of dopamine and give children the tools they need to thrive in the modern world.
