PA Forum: No-Drama Discipline - The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nuture Your Child's Developing Mind

Designed as a pairing of last years reading of The Whole-Brain Child, the same authors — Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel J. Siegel, also the 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 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 behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as problem solving becomes a win/win situation.Discussion led by: Yael Lipnik (LCSW), Lower School parent and Youth & Family Center Manager for DISD
