Translating social neuroscience to help kids raise parents we can live with and are crazy about ~
Praise for Safe and Secure ...
“As educators and parents, we found Dr. Mark Brady’s new ground-breaking book to be a
fascinating and wonderfully accessible collection of essays on child development, neuroscience,
and the wider issues of promoting emotional health and well-being. Dr. Brady explores the crucial
decisions we can all make related to nurturing a child’s developing brain and body - often small
decisions that can have remarkably lasting effects on both the individual and society. Unlike many
parenting guides, this isn’t repackaged conventional wisdom. It’s a must-read for anyone
concerned with fostering a healthy basis of empathy, morality, social cognition, self-awareness,
and listening skills. We are deeply inspired by Mark’s work and suspect you will be too!”

“When my son was an infant, I often found myself wishing he had come with an instruction
manual, one that might tell me how to adequately meet the miracle of his birth and rapidly
unfolding development with similarly inspired parenting. With Safe and Secure, Mark Brady has
provided just such a work. This book takes the wondrous complexity of social neuroscience
research and grounds it in everyday practices designed to nourish loving, attuned relationships
that will last a lifetime. It’s a must-read.”

“Through Mark’s passion and enthusiasm, and his heartfelt and playful connection to his
subject matter, you cannot miss his intention to inform parents, educators and anyone else who
touches the lives of children, that the care and feeding of a child’s brain is the top priority for the
well-being of our species and our planet. He inspires great curiosity in me, such that I take the
time to sit and read about our human connections to our biological computer – our brain.”

“Dr. Brady has an uncommon ability to help parents feel competent about their parenting. As a
result they raise children who actually end up Safe and Secure. Mark’s encyclopedic knowledge
of how our brains and hearts work to create healthy parent-child relationships is inspiring. He has
the extraordinary ability to distill confusing terms and concepts into layman’s language so people
everywhere can easily understand them, and more importantly, put them to effective use. Safe
and Secure is a book hospitals, midwives and birth centers would be well-advised to hand out to
every first-time mother.”
Dr. Jennifer Austin Leigh
author of Girls, You Just Don’t Get It
“Mark Brady’s warm writing style touches on one of the most critical elements in
developmental psychology, never forgetting the potential adult in the child and the hidden child in
the parent. He weaves cutting-edge theories with down-to-earth advice that reveal how seemingly
small choices in raising children can make tremendous difference, fostering healing, creative
independence, and self-actualization."

“Mark Brady has worked passionately to sift through the growing body of neuroscience
research to provide parents with information that is both engaging and inspiring. As a parent I find
his work extremely useful in helping me understand my children and myself. This book helps
parents gain basic neuroscience literacy while expanding compassionate self-acceptance in the
demanding dance of parenting.”
