No-Drama Discipline

Often, parenting is treated like some form of manipulation or behavioural coercion that must be kept secret from children. No-Drama Discipline, instead, is based on recent discoveries about the brain that give us deep insights into the children we care for, what they need, and how to discipline them in ways that foster optimal development.
It offers a relational' approach that builds on children's innate desire to please their parents and get along well with others. Following the same successful formula that made The Whole-Brain Child a bestseller, No-Drama Discipline presents clear messages in a practical and inviting format to communicate its core concepts and practices.
You can discipline your children in a way that's high on relationship-building, high on respect, and low on drama and conflict. As a result, your life as a parent will be easier, and your parenting will become more effective. And more importantly, you'll create connections in your children's brains to build emotional and social skills that will serve them now and throughout their entire life all while strengthening your relationship with them.

'The book includes helpful cartoon-like illustrations and real-life scenarios from Siegel's and Bryson's parenting experience, giving parents practical advice for everyday battles and discipline opportunities Bryson and Siegel are always kind and understanding and intentional with their words so that parents, when finished with the book, feel empowered to put their teachings into practice instead of too discouraged to try changing their default ways If you are a parent or a grandparent or a teacher or a Sunday school teacher or an aunt or an uncle or a childcare provider or you have ANY exposure at all to children, you should read this book.'

Résumé

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.

The pioneering experts behind The Whole-Brain Child 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 misbehaviour, 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 behaviour (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 behaviour 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.
