Description

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. Praise for No-Drama Discipline “With lucid, engaging prose accompanied by cartoon illustrations, Siegel and Bryson help parents teach and communicate more effectively.”—Publishers Weekly “Wow! This book grabbed me from the very first page and did not let go.”—Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., author of The Opposite of Worry Read more

    • Incomplete
Very helpful book, but incomplete.. the authors seems to suggest there is no role for parents to teach children that actions have consequences. There are many wonderful points here - children’s minds are still developing, connecting, focusing on teaching, avoiding overtalking, various ways to redirect.. all of these things are great But parents have NO role in teaching their kids that their actions can lead to consequences? There is ZERO role punishment? It’s very strange. I understand focusing on teaching and not on punishing. However, de-emphasizing discipline as a “punitive” measure does not mean there should be ZERO punishment. It’s absurd. You can and you should use all the tools in this book, but you OBVIOUSLY have to use some form of punishment at least sometimes… it would have been much better for the authors to articulate that and offer actual advice on how to do that in a healthy and productive way rather than completely ignore it or pretend there is no role for it. Very strange. I would encourage you to read this book, but then read another one that ant least includes something about punishment. You should probably parent somewhere in the middle so you don’t screw up your kids. ... show more

    • Excellent, data/driven, & practical
I’ve read this book 2-3 times now & each time I gain valuable reminders & new applications. If you are looking for a completely accessible means of parenting to the true development of your child (spiritual, mental, physical) this is a book for you. From the neuroscience to its strategies, it’s spot on. While my etymological lens differ from the authors, as a researcher myself, I can attest that their neuroscience and conclusions remain consistent for a practical application. Further, if you hold a religious viewpoint, your convictions can very easily remain intact within the presented framework, and you remain conscience bound to your religious applications. Recommended! ... show more

    • Raise good humans, not just obeying ones
I’ve now read this book three times. The first time I read it I highlighted important parts as I read, so when I go back about 2x a year when I feel like I’m starting to struggle, it’s a quick skim. I find the principles of this book to be spot on. Is our goal to get our kids to stop misbehaving or to raise empathetic humans who can self regulate in the future when they’re all on their own? The strategy in this book addresses both goals, but If you’re only looking at the short term goal then you might be frustrated by this book, but it boggles my mind that parents don’t also see they are responsible for creating good humans for the sake of their own children’s’ well-beings and that of society. Ultimately this book reminds you to treat your kids with respect and model the behavior you expect from them. It’s not spoiling to give a child in distress a hug, yes you need to address the bad behavior choice, but discipline is so much more effective once you gotten rid of the defensiveness and reactivity. I also felt there were great examples, and the concepts are simple in practice, just hard for some to reimagine a dated view of discipline. As a teacher, a lot of this is obvious because I do it with my students, but wasn’t applying at home. I have a 3 year old son and 6 year old daughter, and an infant, for reference, all with different personalities. The principles work with all kids, but I think harder for parents to implement if they themselves don’t have a strong sense of empathy and executive functioning skills. You have to be willing to open your mind, not just read a book that satisfies yourself urge to lay down the law and always be in control. ... show more

    • Good book

    • Great concepts, poorly written/too long
I think the overall concepts and especially the examples were super helpful, it just all could have fit in less than 20 pages. This is one of those books that repeats things over and over and over just to make it seem long enough to be worth selling. There are also a bunch of crudely drawn cartoons that serve no purpose other than to repeat (again) content from the text verbatim and take up more space. There are also way too many references to try to get readers to buy one of their other books. I would much prefer a concise pamphlet, which would be easier to reread every few months/years - because again the content is great, but it’s about controlling your emotions and regular reminders would be helpful. ... show more
