About this listen

 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.

As someone who works with children it was a fresh reminder how to help children grow emotionally through discipline rather than falling into the trap of just telling children what to do.

A completely new approach to the way we can teach our children. It is interesting and informative without being too technical.

Fantastic

This has been the best book about parenting so far. Both narrators have a calm voice which gave me a state of tranquility when listening. The approach is easy to follow and for the first time my youngest one is listening without me having to use time out or other old fashion ways. To my surprise she even left her friend's house without any drama and very happy she said bye to her friend. My oldest one on the other hand, when she broke something she felt bad and came up with solutions on how it can be fixed. Plus she is now more confident in coming to me when she does something she's not supposed to. Too bad there are only 5 stars. This book deserves more.

Best one yet

Great read.
Really helped me to better understand hope to calm chaotic situations with my four year old.
We’ll probably need to listen again because retaining all the info isn’t easy, especially when you’re on the middle of a situation and find it hard to find the calm.
Overall, very good and have already recommended

Really informative
