The Yes Brain

How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child

De: Daniel J. Siegel M.D., Tina Payne Bryson

Narrado por: Daniel J. Siegel M.D., Tina Payne Bryson

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 best-selling 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.

Includes a bonus PDF with fun graphics and tools to help you cultivate the Yes Brain in your child and you!

"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)

"In today's busy, competitive culture, allowing our children the space to be themselves is more important than ever. This book provides an escape hatch from the high-stakes mindset." (Vicki Abeles, producer and co-director, The Race to Nowhere and Beyond Measure)

"Bottom line: Every parent wants to raise a strong-minded, resilient, caring child. We just don't know exactly how; we open our mouths and we sing our parents' tired refrain, 'No...no...no.' In The Yes Brain, Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson teach us how to cultivate a receptive, curious brain in our children. I have never read a better, clearer explanation of the impact parenting can have on a child's brain and personality." ( Michael Thompson, PhD, co-author of Raising Cain)

Dan Siegle is an evolutionary genius...such wisdom and balance and practical heart centered

Practical, engaging and helpful.

I would recommend this book to parents at any stage. There are practical tools and information that can positively impact any family.

Where is the PDF?!

It’s so frustrating not to have the PDF that you mention throughout the book.

This is a good to listen. But would have preferred to buy the paperback since the PDF is nowhere to be found.

Fantastic Theories and so true

There are so many great point in this book. I should listen to it over and over because It takes a lot of time to change bad habits and this books helps to point out many of my parenting bad habits and how to improve!

They just keep getting better!

I’m so grateful to have listened and learned, once again, to the logical wisdom of Dr Dan and Tina! Thank you

great resource for being human

I'm not a parent but I've applied to become a Big Sister with Big Brother Big Sister organization. This book was a good reference for me on where to begin with interacting with kids during challenging episodes and what to value.

Read them all!

Great look into various concepts on child raising and methods to engage them into the right state of mind.

excellent, but still opportunities for improvement

I feel like everything covered in this book is great, the topics and findings are evidence-based and in alignment with research across disciplines. I also see a lot of parallels in my own work both as an educator and apparent. I feel there's a lot of room for interpretation that could be challenging, areas where the reader is expected to draw conclusions that the book hasn't itself set them up for. for example, what happens when a child asks a close ended question? I had the person that recommend this book to me stipulate that we should avoid using the word no and ever possible, but that would mean that we are not addressing the question that they've asked and the manner with which they've asked it, which doesn't make sense to me. Even after reading this book. My apologies if there are any typos or homonyms, I'm writing this wall working in my garden and I'm using speech to text

Good info

Have also read The Whole Brain Child. The information taught by the authors is always good. They provide the information studied in a clear and relatable way. Worth a listen.
