Tina Payne Bryson
The pioneering experts behind the bestselling The Whole-Brain Child?Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel J.

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

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.
Advance praise for No-Drama Discipline
?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, Ph. D., 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, Ph. D., 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
