“Thinking Developmentally is a must-read primer for anyone caring
for or about children. I learned so much from reading this book.
Drs Garner and Saul synthesize the latest neuroscience and
developmental research and translate it into clear and practical
advice. We are in a moment of national awakening to the lifelong
effects of childhood adversity. Thinking Developmentally offers an
evidence-based road map for building a healthier future for the
next generation.” — Nadine Burke Harris, MD, MPH, FAAP, CEO, Center
for Youth Wellness, Author of The Deepest Well: Healing the
Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity
“The authors do a good job in meeting their goal of blending
science with a call to action for advocacy and future work in this
area. It could serve as a springboard for collaborative action by
pediatric and community leaders. We recommend Thinking
Developmentally to anyone who wants to learn about the importance
of development and take action to improve the health of the next
generation.” — The Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics
