About this listen
The pioneering experts behind the bestselling The Whole-Brain Child - Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel J. Siegel, the New York Times bestselling author of Brainstorm - now explore the ultimate child-raising challenge: discipline. Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Disciplineprovides 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 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, 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.

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.

What the critics say
"Wow! This book grabbed me from the very first page and did not let go. Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson explain extremely well why punishment is a dead-end strategy. Then they describe what to do instead. By making the latest breakthroughs in brain science accessible to any parent, they show why empathy and connection are the royal road to cooperation, discipline, and family harmony." (Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, author of The Opposite of Worry)
"Using simple and clear explanations, practical advice, and cartoons that make the how-to guidance come alive, this book is a rich resource for families trying to navigate meltdowns and misunderstandings. It explains how neurobiology drives children’s infuriating and puzzling behavior and will help parents make their way through the trenches of a typical day with grace, mutual respect, and a good helping of delight." (Wendy Mogel, PhD, author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee)
"What a relief! Siegel and Bryson take the difficulty out of discipline, for parents or anyone who has to help kids behave. No-Drama Discipline offers a research-based, commonsense approach that any grown-up will be happy to use, and any kid will benefit from." (Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence)

A must-read/listen.
The no-drama approach gives “gentle parenting” a set of principles to live by. I really liked how it explained brain development as it pertained to connection/re-direction.

Takes a while to get into the tactical stuff
Repetitive. Almost in every chapter the author keeps "reassuring us" that we will address this in later chapters. I've been listening to the book for over 3 hours now and they keep promising they'll talk about it in later chapters. Good book, but the first 3 hours are quite repetitive. Still no "tactical advice" as of yet.

A must read for all parents!
A good eye opener about how counterintuitive successful parenting is. Now when I'm at the mall or at wal-mart and I see other parents constantly nagging at their kids who are out of control I know why. I used to have a teacher in high school who had such an amazing and polite little 5 year old boy. Now that I think about his style as a teacher, I know why his boy was like that after reading this book.
This book will challenge your thoughts about parenting - because it's likely that your parents did it backwards as well. Our boy is 2 and I had a couple times where I found myself going down the traditional road of "trying to straighten him out". The problems continued, but after reading this book I can see change. It is a challenge to follow the methods, but the book's goal is to re-wire your brain on the cause and effect relationship between your actions as a parent in discipline and your child's actions or temper.

a very real and refreshing approach to parenting
i loved how real-life the authors made this book. it not only teaches a fantastic approach, but applies it to very real, very relatable situations that parents deal with and struggle through. the balance of theory and practical examples is pretty much perfect.
