Download The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child AudioBook Free
From the authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, an indispensable guide to unlocking your child's innate capacity for resilience, compassion, and creativeness. When facing obstacles, unpleasant duties, and contentious issues such as homework, screen time, food options, and bedtime, children often react out or shut down, responding with reactivity rather than receptivity. This is exactly what New York Times best-selling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be educated to approach life with openness and curiosity. Parents can foster their children's capability to say yes to the entire world and welcome all those things life provides, even during difficult times. This is exactly what it means to cultivate a Yes Brain. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they're more prepared to take risks and explore. They're more interested and imaginative, less concerned about making problems. They're better at connections and more versatile and resilient as it pertains to managing adversity and big thoughts. They work from an obvious interior compass that directs their decisions, as well as just how they treat others. Guided by their Yes Brain, they become more available, creative, and resilient. In The Yes Brain, the authors give parents skills, scripts, ideas, and activities to bring kids of most ages into the overwhelmingly beneficial "yes" condition. You'll learn:
- The four fundamentals of the Yes Brain - balance, resilience, understanding, and empathy - and the way to fortify them
- The key to knowing when kids need a gentle drive out of the safe place vs. needing the "cushion" of safeness and familiarity
- Strategies for navigating away from negative behavioral and psychological states (hostility and withdrawal) and broadening your child's capacity for positivity
