Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The pioneering experts behind The Whole-Brain Child and The Yes Brain tackle the ultimate parenting challenge: discipline。
"A lot of fascinating insights 。 。 。 an eye-opener worth reading。"--Parents
Highlighting the fascinating link between a child's neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior， No-Drama Discipline provides an effective， compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums， tensions， and tears--without causing a scene。
Defining the true meaning of the "d" word （to instruct， not to shout or reprimand）， the authors explain how to reach your child， redirect emotions， and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth。 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
- the way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child--no matter how extreme the behavior--while still setting clear and consistent limits
- tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight， empathy， and repair
- twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents make--and how to stay focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline techniques
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。

I don’t think I can ever give a parenting book five stars， but I do love this one。 I reread sections after a hard day with my kids for refreshers on how to interact better with them。 It aligns with other well-researched sources of child-development information I’ve read and I certainly do better with my kids following the advice in this book。

Eh， it was okay。 There was a lot of fluff and very anecdote-filled， which I'm sure will really work in the real world。 There were some basic ideas and patterns that I can see getting some usage out of。 Eh， it was okay。 There was a lot of fluff and very anecdote-filled， which I'm sure will really work in the real world。 There were some basic ideas and patterns that I can see getting some usage out of。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book and the approach it took in giving advice。 Not preachy and unrealistic。 I learned alot from this book for both my toddler and my step teen。 In that regards I really think you can use the advice from this book and apply it to kids of all ages。 I know alot of people just see the titles of these books and think its hippy style， letting your kid run wild and ending up with a kid that walks all over you but if anything its the opposite。 It teaches you when and how to approa I really enjoyed this book and the approach it took in giving advice。 Not preachy and unrealistic。 I learned alot from this book for both my toddler and my step teen。 In that regards I really think you can use the advice from this book and apply it to kids of all ages。 I know alot of people just see the titles of these books and think its hippy style， letting your kid run wild and ending up with a kid that walks all over you but if anything its the opposite。 It teaches you when and how to approach your child to receive the best results for both you and your kid。 I 100% recommend this book！ 。。。more

La información es poder。 Y Dan y Tina siguen dándote herramientas para intentar hacernos más fácil la relación con l@s hij@s。 Empatía y coherencia， dejando claro que no hay reglas fijas， y hay que saber adaptarse。 Y que incluso para ellos es a veces complicado。

There's a "refrigerator page" at the end of this book that sums up the 223 pages that precede it。 This page could be fleshed out a bit more， and the rest of the book would be unnecessary。 No-Drama Discipline is highly repetitive， and too much of it reads like advertisements for the No-Drama Whole Brained approach and for their book The Whole-Brained Child。 Too many examples they use of their approach at work sound like a rejected script for Full House。 The approach presented in this book is base There's a "refrigerator page" at the end of this book that sums up the 223 pages that precede it。 This page could be fleshed out a bit more， and the rest of the book would be unnecessary。 No-Drama Discipline is highly repetitive， and too much of it reads like advertisements for the No-Drama Whole Brained approach and for their book The Whole-Brained Child。 Too many examples they use of their approach at work sound like a rejected script for Full House。 The approach presented in this book is based on so-called science about the upstairs and downstairs brains。 They made up these terms， and while neuroplasticity and building connections in the brain are factual concepts， there is no science behind how their approach leads to connecting the animalistic reactive side of the brain and the rational side of the brain that they claim exist。 Meanwhile， the authors condemn the use of consequences as a means of teaching children when this comes from applied behavior analysis， which is actually evidence based。 It's true that it's important for parents to develop strong loving relationships with their children and to be a discriminative stimulus for reinforcement， and this book has some great guidance toward active listening and attunement - although it's surprising that it says nothing about creating an enriched environment as a means of antecedent control。 But the idea that children naturally have this sense of guilt about every single wrong action is unfounded; values need to be taught。 As for the idea of intrinsic motivation being allegedly spoiled by teaching by consequences， children often need guidance in being able to make contact with natural reinforcers。 The way you use consequences when disciplining children is dramatically different based on approach。 Everyone learns by what happens immediately after a positive or problem behavior; a behavior is either reinforced （reinforcement， by definition， is a consequence that immediately happens after a behavior that increases the likelihood that the behavior will happen in the future） or is punished （punishment， by definition， a consequence that immediately happens after a behavior that decreases future likelihood）。 Parents can deliver consequences to shape behavior。 Punishment can be used but should be delivered carefully and thoughtfully， considering the negative effect it can have on the parent/child relationship。 If you parent by using the approach presented here - without thoughtfully delivered immediate consequences to promote desired behavior and discourage problem behavior - somebody else or something else in your child's environment will do so。 And it's not likely the values you have will be communicated to your child。 。。。more

sebetulnya intinya simple， hanya bahasa kurang ok， ilustrasi kurang banyak， tp membuka perspektif baru sebagai orang tua dengan threenagers ❤️

I like this approach， and I’ll be trying to use some of the things I learned here in the future。

This book presents a beautiful outlook on discipline。 Both parents and children have to learn how to do-regulate and this book guides adults to creating loving boundaries to benefit children’s behaviour and their brain development。

Ok but not as good as the whole brain child - could be summarised into a shorter text

I read this after reading the "The Whole Brain Child" and took a while to complete this as I didn't want to just read but also practice。 I must say that the techniques shared （although not new） are very helpful。 The examples are relatable which add value。 Most importantly its a reminder that none of us are perfect especially when it comes to dealing with our kids' behaviour。 We are not a bad parent if we make mistakes， what is important is to introspect and learn from these mistakes。 I read this after reading the "The Whole Brain Child" and took a while to complete this as I didn't want to just read but also practice。 I must say that the techniques shared （although not new） are very helpful。 The examples are relatable which add value。 Most importantly its a reminder that none of us are perfect especially when it comes to dealing with our kids' behaviour。 We are not a bad parent if we make mistakes， what is important is to introspect and learn from these mistakes。 。。。more

This is a very helpful book。 I wish I would have read it when my oldest was a toddler。

Apparently it took me two years to actually finish this book！ Ha。 Granted， there was a pregnancy and a pandemic involved， so I did a lot of picking up and putting down。 This book has good information， but it is quite repetitive。

Given I am someone who appreciates how something works better once I learn about the other moving parts， this book was helpful。 While I have not put it into practice for a long time yet， the principles are sound and are aligned with my parenting philosophy。 I think， apart from being forgiving to yourself as a parent and doing better after any mishap or argument， selecting parenting methods that are aligned with your own ideology is key。

I found this book to be so helpful in my desire to parent my children effectively and graciously。 With a strong focus on empathy and connection， this book clearly shows how our words and actions help （or hinder） our child’s development of all ages。 I would say this is a must read for any parents with children between birth and high school。 I’ve already begun implementing some of the philosophies （in addition to the ones I was already using） and have noticed a marked difference in the relational I found this book to be so helpful in my desire to parent my children effectively and graciously。 With a strong focus on empathy and connection， this book clearly shows how our words and actions help （or hinder） our child’s development of all ages。 I would say this is a must read for any parents with children between birth and high school。 I’ve already begun implementing some of the philosophies （in addition to the ones I was already using） and have noticed a marked difference in the relational experience and tone in our house as well as with the way my daughter responds to me。 。。。more

This would be a perfect way to parent if someone had a lot of time and energy to deal with every single one of their child’s feeling and emotions。 I personally prefer a 123 magic approach because sometimes， “No” just means no。

Great concepts but may be more difficult to put into practice。 I would have liked more practical examples。 The big take away is that discipline is relational and it is important to connect with your child on their level。

Good strategies but this book did not have to be this long。 Would have appreciated a more summarized， less wordy version。 Especially as a parent of young kids with limited free time。

Great book that heavily emphasizes the cultivation of emotional intelligence in those who parent and those who are being parentied。

One of the life changing books ， makes u think about the way u treat u r children ， how to provide connection， empathy and discipline at the same time ！ I am impressed and I am really trying to apply some principles

Good book。 Good advice。 Must be a parent to appreciate。

Com muitos exemplos práticos e frases repetitivas， o livro consegue explicar bem suas lições e estratégias para pais de crianças e adolescentes。 Li o The Whole Brain primeiro e depois esse， seguindo a ordem sugerida， maa achei os 2 muito， muito parecidos。 Podiam ter diminuído as repetições e desenhos e escrito apenas 1 livro。。。

Life-changing。 I think I need to read this regularly。 Implementation and dedication will be hard but completely worth it。 I’m also going to read other books by the authors because their philosophies and strategies jibe with the kind of mom I want to be （and was until the pandemic happened）。

As an educator， this book has helped me so much in managing difficult behaviours that I face on a daily basis， several times in a day。And of course， use the advice to our own discretion and whichever that is deemed fit in every situation。

Good book， with great advise， but I’m looking for something to help me when these strategies don’t work;）

I read the Whole-brain Child from Daniel J。 Siegel earlier this year。 I'm not pregnant or planning to have kids， but as my friends and family have kids， I know that my babysitting days are coming！ I want to be prepared， so I've been listening to these books。 They're fantastic， to be quite honest！ I wish I'd read this when I was in high school as my family somehow always ended up with babies or young kids in our home， and I definitely didn't parent or care for them using the principles that Siege I read the Whole-brain Child from Daniel J。 Siegel earlier this year。 I'm not pregnant or planning to have kids， but as my friends and family have kids， I know that my babysitting days are coming！ I want to be prepared， so I've been listening to these books。 They're fantastic， to be quite honest！ I wish I'd read this when I was in high school as my family somehow always ended up with babies or young kids in our home， and I definitely didn't parent or care for them using the principles that Siegel suggests。What I enjoyed most is the alternative approach to disciplining children。 I think that this is a book that I'll be buying for my sister！ 。。。more

Book seems a little drawn out， but I did learn something from it which is good。 In a nutshell， get your emotions in check （avoid letting anger and inner childish behaviors take over your emotions） and imagine what your child is feeling and thinking。
