No Drama Discipline: Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Brain
Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears—without causing a scene.
Defining the true meaning of the “d” word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth. By doing so, the cycle of negative behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as problem solving becomes a win/win situation.
Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, author of “No Drama Discipline: The Whole Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child’s Developing Brain,” “The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity and Resilience in Your Child,” and “The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How their Brains Get Wired”
