No-Drama Discipline

Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehaviour, No-Drama Discipline provides 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 behaviour (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 behaviour — while still setting clear and consistent limits.
• Tips for navigating your child 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.
