NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The pioneering experts behind The
Whole-Brain Child and The Yes Brain tackle the ultimate parenting
challenge: discipline.
"A lot of fascinating insights . . . an eye-opener worth
reading."--Parents
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.
Inside this sanity-saving guide you'll discover
- strategies that help parents identify their own discipline
philosophy--and master the best methods to communicate the lessons they
are trying to impart
- facts on child brain development--and what kind of discipline is most
appropriate and constructive at all ages and stages
- the way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child--no matter how
extreme the behavior--while still setting clear and consistent limits
- tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight,
empathy, and repair
- twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents make--and how to stay
focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline
techniques
Complete with candid stories and playful illustrations that bring the
authors' suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline shows you how to
work with your child's developing mind, peacefully resolve conflicts,
and inspire happiness and strengthen resilience in everyone in the
family.
