Review
------
“With lucid, engaging prose accompanied by cartoon
illustrations, [Daniel J.] Siegel and [Tina Payne] Bryson help
parents teach and communicate more effectively.”—Publishers
Weekly
“A lot of fascinating ins . . . an eye-opener worth
reading.”—Parents
“Inful . . . The ideas presented in this latest book can
actually be applied to all of our relationships, as it will help
us in many circumstances to be able to calm down, have empathy
for another person, and then communicate in a constructive way
about our concerns and proposed solutions. What works to help
children learn and behave better might also help our world’s
leaders and large groups of people get along better, as many of
us adults failed to develop these mind skills as we were
growing up and we tend to sabotage our relationships with others
as a result. Whether you are a parent, a teacher, or just a
person who wishes to learn to get along better with others, you
may find some valuable ins in No-Drama
Discipline.”—Examiner.com
“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 site
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 ! 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
“Frustrated parents often ask me why the disciplinary techniques
they are using with their children aren’t working, or are even
making things worse. I have not always known what to say, because
I was not always sure I understood what was going wrong. Now I
know. No-Drama Discipline unlocks the secrets of discipline: what
works and what doesn’t, and why—and what to do when you are
pulling your hair out. Simply put, Dan Siegel and Tina Payne
Bryson’s ins and techniques will make you a better parent. I
know I will be using the concepts from this extraordinarily
helpful book for years to come.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D.,
co-author of Raising Cain
