Discipline : the whole-brain way to calm the chaos and nurture your child's developing mind

xxviii, 255 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.

The authors of The Whole-Brain Child explore the ultimate child-raising challenge: discipline. The fascinating link between a child's neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior. An effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears -- without causing a scene. The true meaning of discipline (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand). 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, 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 children 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, this book 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.

Bryson, Tina Payne.
