Description
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 creativity.
When facing contentious issues such as screen time, food choices, and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times bestselling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative. They’re better at relationships and handling adversity. In The Yes Brain, the authors give parents skills, scripts, and activities to bring kids of all ages into the beneficial “yes” state. You’ll learn
• the four fundamentals of the Yes Brain—balance, resilience, insight, and empathy—and how to strengthen them
• the key to knowing when kids need a gentle push out of a comfort zone vs. needing the “cushion” of safety and familiarity
• strategies for navigating away from negative behavioral and emotional states (aggression and withdrawal) and expanding your child’s capacity for positivity
The Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive potential and keeping your child’s inner spark glowing and growing strong.
Praise for The Yes Brain
“This unique and exciting book shows us how to help children embrace life with all of its challenges and thrive in the modern world. Integrating research from social development, clinical psychology, and neuroscience, it’s a veritable treasure chest of parenting insights and techniques.”—Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., author of Mindset 
“I have never read a better, clearer explanation of the impact parenting can have on a child’s brain and personality.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D.
“Easily assimilated and informative, the book will help adults enable children to lead physically and emotionally satisfying and well-rounded lives filled with purpose and meaningful relationships. Edifying, easy-to-understand scientific research that shows the benefits that accrue when a child is encouraged to be inquisitive, spirited, and intrepid.”—Kirkus Reviews

        Siegel and Bryson dive deeper into the ideas introduced in their bestselling The Whole-Brain Child to offer parents the tools needed to develop a child’s “yes brain”—a receptive state of mind that encourages curiosity, compassion, and adaptation, qualities identified here as critical life skills that will lead children to “do more, learn more, and become more.” Buoyed by neuroscientific research, Siegel and Bryson’s plan focuses on fostering four crucial components of resilience—balance, resilience, insight, and empathy, with a single chapter devoted to each—and extols the importance of nurturing these traits while helping your child integrate all in order to “live meaningfully and find success.” Each of these chapters concludes with cartoons illustrating that section’s content that are meant to be shared with children, as well as tips to promote the same traits in oneself as a parent and individual. Siegel and Bryson have taken a high-level concept and broken it down into an approach that is easy to understand and implement. Parents, grandparents, teachers, clinicians, and other caregivers will find something in the plan that they can use to help the children in their care to excel.

        Techniques to help your child grow and develop from a reactive to a receptive state. In their latest collaboration, Siegel (Psychiatry/UCLA School of Medicine) and Bryson, authors of The Whole-Brain Child (2011) and No-Drama Discipline (2014), continue their discussion on how to help a child grow into a healthy, productive adult. The authors emphasize the importance of integrating the entire brain, so all the different regions "become more connected, both structurally (meaning the way they physically connect via neurons) and functionally (meaning the way they work, or function, together)." Integration encourages communication and cooperation, producing constructive outcomes that increase flexibility, adaptability, coherence, energy, and stability in a child's outlook on life. In each chapter, the authors use concrete examples to demonstrate the techniques needed to create and maintain a balanced, resilient, insightful, and empathic brain, and each section is backed by various cartoons adults can use to teach these methods to children. Siegel and Bryson also encourage adults to follow their methodology to further aid the developing child. They illustrate the harm done when an adult dismisses, criticizes, and shames a child's feelings, the disadvantages of an overbooked schedule, and the necessity of adequate sleep. They discuss when to push a child beyond his or her comfort zone and when to offer comfort, how adults can remain calm during a difficult moment with a child, and how to encourage empathy on multiple levels. They also explore how the current cultural norms and expectations of "success" are creating stress, exhaustion, anxiety, and depression, and they suggest the definition should be refined. Easily assimilated and informative, the book will help adults enable children to lead physically and emotionally satisfying and well-rounded lives filled with purpose and meaningful relationships. Edifying, easy-to-understand scientific research that shows the benefits that accrue when a child is encouraged to be inquisitive, spirited, and intrepid.
