July 12, 2021

EDGE Lab Director Danielle Dick, Ph.D. authored a book, "The Child Code", set to be released September 14, 2021. The Child Code introduces new concepts in the theory of childrearing while using science-driven practices that provide practical individualized strategies for navigating challenges and nurturing strengths. It provides an explanation of how genetics interacts with raising children by stating, "...one fundamental biological fact: genetics affects every single aspect of human behavior, and each child is unique coded with predispositions that influence everything.”

Pre-order the book today through the website to get three free parenting manuals! The "Child Code Quiz" provides an introductory analysis of your child's current behavior through the three big genetically-influenced temperamental dimensions that shape who they are, how they respond, and what parenting techniques work best. The "Developmental Roadmap" introduces a plan for both parent and child to figure out ways to nuture their child's growth. The "Meltdown Manual" offers science-based strategies that offers parents insight into temper tantrums, refusals and other adverse behaviors that may negatively effect the family dynamic.

The book will be available September 14, 2021 via the website https://www.thechildcode.com and book retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, GooglePlay, Apple Books, Kindle and Nook.
