Dr. Solomon Laktineh shares science-backed tools to help parents understand and guide child behavior.
New York City, New York, United States, 1st Apr 2026 – Dr. Solomon Laktineh is excited to announce that his new book, Raising Emotionally Intelligent Children: The Brain Behind the Behavior and How Parents Can Help, is now available on Amazon. This Parenting & Relationships guide gives parents clear answers to one big question: Why do children behave the way they do?
Parenting can feel hard and confusing. Many parents deal with tantrums, defiance, anxiety, screen battles, or daily power struggles. Dr. Laktineh explains that most behavior problems are not character problems. They are brain and nervous system responses. When parents understand what is happening inside the child’s brain, they can respond in ways that truly help.
Why This Parenting & Relationships Book Matters
This Parenting & Relationships book is based on science, but it is written in simple and clear language. Dr. Laktineh shares what he has learned from more than 40 years of caring for children and supporting families. He explains how the brain develops and how stress, fear, and connection shape behavior.
In the book, readers learn:
- Why children melt down, shut down, or “act out”
- How to set strong boundaries without shame or fear
- How to reduce conflict and improve cooperation
- Ways to help toddlers, children, and teens build emotional control
- When behavior may be linked to ADHD, anxiety, autism traits, depression, or trauma
- What parents should know about school supports, therapy, and medication
Dr. Laktineh shows that yelling and harsh discipline may stop behavior for a short time, but they do not build emotional strength. Calm guidance and connection help children grow into strong and confident adults.
Understanding the Brain Behind the Behavior
In Raising Emotionally Intelligent Children, Dr. Laktineh explains how parts of the brain like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex work together. When a child feels unsafe or overwhelmed, the emotional part of the brain takes over. This can lead to anger, tears, or complete shutdown.
Many parents think their child is being difficult on purpose. This book helps parents see behavior in a new way. When adults respond with calm support instead of fear or frustration, the child’s nervous system settles. Over time, this builds resilience and emotional intelligence.
Dr. Laktineh makes complex science easy to understand. He uses real-life examples from his years as a pediatrician and neonatologist. His message is simple: when parents change how they respond, children change how they grow.
A Fresh Voice in Parenting & Relationships
This Parenting & Relationships guide was inspired not only by Dr. Laktineh’s medical career, but also by his own childhood. He was raised in a strict home where discipline often meant fear and shame. At that time, it was seen as love. Later in life, through medicine and neuroscience, he learned that fear may control behavior, but it does not build emotional health.
He wrote this book because he saw many children labeled as “defiant,” “difficult,” or “anxious.” In his practice, he realized that many of these children were reacting to stress, environment, and unmet emotional needs. He also saw parents who loved their children deeply but did not have the right tools.
Dr. Laktineh believes that when parents understand brain development, guilt is replaced with clarity. Knowledge leads to compassion. And compassion builds stronger families.
