Summary
The pioneering experts behind the bestselling The Whole-Brain Child - Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel J. Siegel, the New York Times bestselling author of Brainstorm - now explore the ultimate child-raising challenge: discipline. Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Disciplineprovides 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 children 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.
Critic reviews
"Wow! This book grabbed me from the very first page and did not let go. Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson explain extremely well why punishment is a dead-end strategy. Then they describe what to do instead. By making the latest breakthroughs in brain science accessible to any parent, they show why empathy and connection are the royal road to cooperation, discipline, and family harmony." (Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, author of The Opposite of Worry)
"Using simple and clear explanations, practical advice, and cartoons that make the how-to guidance come alive, this book is a rich resource for families trying to navigate meltdowns and misunderstandings. It explains how neurobiology drives children’s infuriating and puzzling behavior and will help parents make their way through the trenches of a typical day with grace, mutual respect, and a good helping of delight." (Wendy Mogel, PhD, author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee)
"What a relief! Siegel and Bryson take the difficulty out of discipline, for parents or anyone who has to help kids behave. No-Drama Discipline offers a research-based, commonsense approach that any grown-up will be happy to use, and any kid will benefit from." (Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence)

Good content- good advice
Some definite pointers in here and a realistic review of many issues.
The content is great but performance style sometimes non- gripping.
Would still thoroughly recommend for those with a real interest

Great insight to the clockwork of our mind
We're just about to have a child of our own, but I had plant of opportunity to practice and observe aspects of what this book teaches while taking care of our relatives children, and I've found it wery helpful. There is one thing knowing something, and consciously weaving that knowledge into your everyday actions. It takes significant effort, and exactly as the book emphasizes this fact, no one can be 100% consistent, it's the effort that counts, and how one lives up to his/her own mistakes. I do believe, that the mindset and techniques thought will come just as handy to us when rasing our own child as it does when interacting with our relatives' children; nevertheless, being an engineer I do believe in a science-driven, non-rigid, yet consistent way of teaching, and for that reason I can only recommend this book. What I've also found interesting is how well most of the techniques focused on helping children gain control of their emotions and strengthen the bond between them and their parents apply to me when I need to regulate my own raging mind. About the narrators' performance, both are superb, I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

Good stuff
Useful, empathic, practical advice that we can put into practice straight away. Loved how authors used examples that didn't 'work', that there's no magic wand but that we can still have an approach that keeps the child's developing brain in mind.

Great advice
This book backed up with scientific evidence what my gut feeling had been - that shouting and punishments are not the best way to discipline children. It made me feel that you can be a non-shouter and a compromiser without being a pushover and has given me the confidence to continue with what I was already doing plus provided some very helpful new strategies.

Amazing help for every parent!!
I feel that all the things they say in this book makes sense. I want to listen to it again as I went through it quite quick, listening on the way to work and home etc. It's good to keep what they say in your mind when dealing with you and your childs everyday issues :)
