“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 insights . . . an eye-opener worth
reading.”—Parents
“Insightful . . . 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 mindsight 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
insights 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 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
“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 insights
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
