The yes brain : how to cultivate courage, curiosity, and resilience in your child / Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
"The brain is either in a reactive (no) state, which makes us rigid and self-conscious, putting us on high alert for rules and consequences; or in a receptive (yes) state, which is what enables curiosity and creativity, and fosters resilience. Most traditional learning environments--and many parenting approaches--necessarily trigger the "no" state in children (allowing teachers and school systems to assess and manage them), but parents can nurture the mindset that leads to authentic happiness and success by supplying children with neurological counterbalancing "yes brain" experiences and interactions. Dan Siegel, a thought-leader in the field of neuropsychiatry, and Tina Payne Bryson, who runs the parenting education/class component of his famed institute in LA, explain the underpinnings of this neurological dichotomy, and give parents the scripts, ideas and activities for igniting and wiring the "yes" state in kids of all ages. From what to say to and do for the young child who is melting down (a reactive state) to help him get back to emotional balance (the responsive state), to how to assess extra-curricular activities and deal with the urge to over-schedule our older kids (which spurs a reactive, "no" mindset), The Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive neurology--and gifting our children with profound, lifelong results"-- Provided by publisher.

From the authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, an indispensable guide to unlocking your childâs 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, theyâre more willing to take chances and explore. Theyâre more curious and imaginative. Theyâre 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 âyesâ state. Youâll learn
⢠the four fundamentals of the Yes Brainâbalance, resilience, insight, and empathyâand how to strengthen them
⢠the key to knowing when kids need a gentle push out of a comfort zone vs. needing the âcushionâ of safety and familiarity
⢠strategies for navigating away from negative behavioral and emotional states (aggression and withdrawal) and expanding your childâs capacity for positivity
The Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive potential and keeping your childâs inner spark glowing and growing strong.
