The Power of Showing Up

Story
One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out - in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships - is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as best-selling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important and often maddening ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development affects teenagers’ behaviour and relationships.

Publisher's Summary
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!
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, PhD, 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, PhD)
“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)
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Aims to bring balance to kids and parents.
In short this book is about helping you and your children bring balance to your life. This books is aimed for parents with school aged children. It’s good advice, but it assumes a life with access and free of complexity - so I proceed with caution when recommending it to others.
It’s nicely narrated. It’s fairly well paced. One of the author sounds a bit like George Clooney. A few moments it feels a bit “smug” or “corny” - but it’s really worth a listen.

Tapping into empathy
My favourite part of the audiobook was learning about empathy. As a child, I mostly was encouraged to “be tough and move on” when I had a disappointment or to “look at the bright side”. I noticed myself doing the same thing to my son when he was hurting and have instead learned through this book the power of just sitting there with the pain and creating an emotional connection. It’s incredible to see how well my son has responded to this shift!

Really disappointed
I love this mans work and was really excited to listen.
The female voice is just terrible. She droned on and I could not engage with what she was saying. It was like she was trying to force herself to sound interested but she failed.
I have tried 5 times to listen but it is too hard. Wish i had spent my money on the paper book and not the audible version.

Their worst book
What a disappointment! Their other books including the Whole Brain Child were pretty good. This one was mostly a rehashing of their earlier material. Almost nothing new here. Also, they had very little scientific evidence in the book. It was almost all their opinion or anecdotes. Finally, they mentioned something in the cover about promoting curiosity in kids, but I didn't hear that in the book at all.
A waste of time. Only positive was that it was narrated by the authors, which I always appreciate

Crucial content for parents today
After listening to Whole-Brained Child, I was really interested in what Siegel and Payne Bryson would have to say in The Yes Brain. This feels especially relevant to me as a mom, because my experience with my sons is that they are quick to reject new experiences or ideas that fall outside of their comfort zones. I appreciate the authors’ emphasis on self-understanding and internally-derived sense of self. After reading the book, I have a set of four key concepts (the ‘fundamentals of the Yes Brain’) to keep in mind during my daily interactions with my kids. They offer concrete, even illustrated, examples for how to develop these qualities. There are helpful acronyms and key phrases for easier recall of the main concepts covered in the book. The message is clear: the authors value internal development of our children’s self-understanding, and challenge parents to assess the rationale behind their choices for children’s often hectic schedule of ‘enriching’ activities. They encourage us to slow down, connect with our kids, let them play, and step in when necessary to help them build skills to engage in meaningful ways in the world and with others.

A little bit of the same, but also new great stuff
If you could sum up The Yes Brain in three words, what would they be?
More child-psychology magic!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Daniel and Tina did a great job reading the book, as usual.
Which scene was your favorite?
Their description for kids of neural connections is perfect. Lots of helpful examples.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I’d caution you if you’re looking for something super novel. There is some good, new information in here. However, as the description states, it’s built upon the previous books by the co-authors. Much of the information is more of a helpful review and re-presented in a new light; explaining how the same strategies and neuroscience insights can help develop a “Yes Brain.”

Great book but where’s the PDF
This book provides great information and practical tools to implement immediately. But how do I access the PDF?

It works
I’ve practiced some of the techniques with my 5 year old boy and they work. He’s already breathing when getting upset, etc. I understand having a younger sister might not be easy and there are lots of feelings surrounding him. We’ve been at home because of Covid-19 for more than 3 weeks and we needed something to change and I feel this is helping the whole family.
To be honest, parents are the ones that have to change first.

Boring and repetitive, we didn't like it.
There were a few good points, but for the most part it was boring and they just keep repeating the same stuff over and over in different ways. Probably better if you're going to listen to in at home with the PDF handy instead of in the car driving.
