12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind

The Whole-brain Child

The pioneering experts behind the bestselling The Whole-Brain Child now explore the ultimate child-raising challenge: discipline. A breakfast bowl gets thrown across the kitchen, splattering milk and cereal all over the wall. Or one of your kids threatens a younger sibling. Or you get a call from the principal’s office for the third time this month. What do you do? No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with such tantrums, tensions, and tears — without causing a scene. 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, this book offers a ‘relational’ approach that builds on children’s innate desire to please their parents and get along well with others. Complete with candid stories and playful illustrations that bring the authors’ suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline presents clear messages in a practical and inviting format. Using these techniques, 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.

No-Drama Discipline

Parenting isn't easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood. "There is parenting magic in this book."--Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out--in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships--is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn't take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it's simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child's healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S's: * Safe: We can't always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change. * Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions--both positive and negative--and strive to attune to what's happening in his mind beneath his behavior. * Soothed: Soothing isn't about providing a life of ease; it's about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you'll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he'll never have to suffer alone. * Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up--when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive! Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S's effectively in all kinds of situations--when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don't show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it's never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child's healthy emotional landscape.

Counsels parents on how to help children reach their full potential by cultivating mental receptivity, sharing ideas and activities for transitioning resistant children away from reactive states and into mindsets that are more curious, creative, and resilient.

How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child

The Yes Brain

Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your eleven-year-old sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field. Do children conspire to make their parents’ lives endlessly challenging? No — it’s just their developing brain calling the shots. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The ‘upstairs brain’, which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. With clear explanations, age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles, and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

The simple way to help your kids face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills—from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist “A parenting guide as useful as it is scientifically sound, The Way of Play is a gift for anyone who cares about human development and the growth-promoting importance of having fun in life!”—Daniel J. Siegel, MD Most parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time. Playing with your kids doesn’t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent break down seven simple, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day: • Leaning in to emotions helps children let go of anxieties, drama, and chaotic behavior. • Tuning in to the body teaches children to practice the art of surfing sensory waves. • Storytelling promotes better problem-solving. • Thinking out loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with parents, siblings, and everyone else. Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships.

De los autores del bestseller mundial El cerebro del niño. En una época en que padres e hijos están ocupados y distraídos con el trabajo, los estudios, las extraescolares, las nuevas tecnologías, etc., la crianza de los hijos no resulta una tarea nada fácil. En El poder de la presencia, el nuevo y esperado libro de Daniel J. Siegel y Tina Payne Bryson, expertos en neurociencia y educación infantil, y autores, entre otros, del bestseller mundial El cerebro del niño, plantean la importancia de estar presentes en la vida de los hijos de una manera cualitativa creando un vínculo que los ayuda a sentirse seguros y conectados con el mundo. Basándose en las investigaciones más recientes de la ciencia del apego y la neurobiología interpersonal, este estudio establece cuatro aspectos fundamentales para la educación. Los niños necesitan sentirse seguros, vistos, consolados y a salvo. Estas cuatro cualidades producen un apego seguro, elemento clave para un desarrollo saludable. Gracias a él, el niño es más feliz, emocionalmente más equilibrado, resiliente, empático y perspicaz y, sin lugar a dudas, más preparado para las dificultades con las que se encontrará a lo largo de su vida. El libro incluye también historias, estrategias simples, ilustraciones y consejos para todo tipo de situaciones: cuando nuestros hijos tienen dificultades o tienen éxito; cuando los estamos consolando, aleccionando o discutiendo con ellos; e incluso cuando nos disculpamos por las veces que no estamos presentes. Los autores demuestran que los errores y pasos en falso son reparables y que nunca es demasiado tarde para recomponer la confianza rota. «Este libro único y emocionante nos enseña a ayudar a los niños a abrazar la vida con todos sus desafíos y a prosperar en el mundo moderno. Integrando la investigación del desarrollo social, la psicología clínica y la neurociencia, es un verdadero cofre del tesoro de ideas y técnicas de crianza.» Carol S. Dweck, autora de Mindset «Hay magia parental en este libro.» Michael Thompson, coautor, Raising Cain
