No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind by Tina Payne Bryson, Daniel J. Siegel

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

No drama discipline is a wonderful book in my opinion. Now don’t get me wrong - I don’t have kids of my own currently, but I do work in mental health. Let me reassure by providing this fact, and something I love with the examples in this book - there is no one way to parent and there are no ways to be a perfect parent. There are some unbelievably hard days with parenting but the main thing is carving a space to make kids feel safe to come to you and talk with you as needed which is what Siegel and Bryson have worked to offer strategies to help with. Both authors are professionals in working with children and are parents and have plenty of bad days where they’ve said and done everything opposite to what they teach in these books and I love that. This book is made to be as simple and accessible as possible and if you feel like you want some reassurance you’re a normal parent with maybe some extra tricks on connecting to try - give this book a whirl!
