New Releases by Payne Bryson

The simple way to help your kids face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills—from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist “A parenting guide as useful as it is scientifically sound, The Way of Play is a gift for anyone who cares about human development and the growth-promoting importance of having fun in life!”—Daniel J. Siegel, MD Most parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time. Playing with your kids doesn’t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent break down seven simple, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day: • Leaning in to emotions helps children let go of anxieties, drama, and chaotic behavior. • Tuning in to the body teaches children to practice the art of surfing sensory waves. • Storytelling promotes better problem-solving. • Thinking out loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with parents, siblings, and everyone else. Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships.

A Coleção Crescer reúne os dois livros principais do neurocientista e especialista em criação de filhos Daniel J. Siegel. Nesse coleção reunimos os já clássicos livros O Cérebro da Criança e Cérebro Adolescente para que possamos acompanhá-lo em todas as fases do crescimento de seu filho. O Cérebro da Criança : Neste livro pioneiro e prático, o neuropsiquiatra Daniel Siegel e a especialista em criação de filhos Tina Payne Bryson desmistificam como o cérebro da criança é programado e como ele amadurece. O “cérebro do andar de cima”, que toma decisões e equilibra as emoções, continua em construção até os vinte e poucos anos de idade. E, especialmente em crianças pequenas, o cérebro direito e suas emoções tendem a ser dominantes sobre a lógica do cérebro esquerdo. Não é de admirar que as crianças possam parecer – e se sentir – tão fora de controle. Ao aplicar essas descobertas ao cotidiano da criação de filhos, você pode transformar qualquer explosão, discussão ou medo em uma oportunidade de integrar o cérebro do seu filho e promover crescimento vital. Cérebro Adolescente : Entre os 12 e os 24 anos o cérebro passa por mudanças radicais que, às vezes, perturbam quem está próximo. Não à toa, muitos pais ficam ansiosos nesse período, temendo ter que lidar com filhos revoltados e cheios de conflitos. Daniel Siegel sugere que pais e adolescentes podem compreender o que se passa no cérebro nesta idade e transformar as fontes de desentendimento em uma conexão profunda. Utilizando o resultado de pesquisas recentes no campo da neurobiologia, o autor explica – de maneira acessível e interessante – como a adolescência é um período de crescimento, criatividade e experimentação, para dar alicerces ao restante da vida, e como entender essas transformações no auxílio da comunicação entre as diferentes gerações.

Bayangkan, betapa damainya hidup Anda sebagai orangtua apabila anak-anak dalam kesehariannya memberi respons dengan positif—akur dengan saudara, rajin mengerjakan tugas sekolah, mematuhi batasan waktu layar, menikmati masakan yang disajikan. Mereka bebas dari drama, sikap defensif, bahkan dari menutup diri. Keterampilan merespons inilah yang disebut oleh Daniel J. Siegel dan Tina Payne Bryson sebagai Yes Brain. Bukan mengubah anak menjadi “robot” penurut tanpa memiliki kendali diri, tetapi Yes Brain dapat membantu anak untuk menyadari siapa mereka, ingin menjadi manusia seperti apa mereka kelak, serta dapat membuat mereka sanggup mengatasi kekecewaan serta kekalahan. Melalui ragam keterampilan dan aktivitas sehari-hari yang tersaji dalam buku ini, orangtua dapat membantu anak, segala usia, untuk memiliki Yes Brain, bekal tumbuhnya sikap berani, penuh rasa ingin tahu, dan tangguh dalam menghadapi segala tantangan.

Neste livro prático e pioneiro, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsiquiatra e autor do best-seller O Cérebro da Criança, e a consultora de criação de filhos Payne Bryson oferecem uma abordagem revolucionária para a criação de filhos. Com doze estratégias-chave que promovem o desenvolvimento saudável do cérebro, levando as crianças a se tornarem calmas e felizes. Os autores explicam – e tornam acessível – a nova ciência de como o cérebro infantil é conectado e como amadurece. O “cérebro do andar de cima”, que toma decisões e equilibra emoções, está em desenvolvimento até por volta dos 20 anos. Especialmente em crianças pequenas, o lado direito do cérebro e suas emoções tendem a dominar a lógica do lado esquerdo. Não é à toa que as crianças fazem birras, brigam ou ficam de mau humor. Ao aplicar essas descobertas à educação cotidiana, você pode transformar qualquer explosão, discussão ou medo em uma chance de integrar o cérebro de seu filho e estimular o crescimento vital. Completo com estratégias adequadas à idade para lidar com as lutas do dia a dia, Exercícios para o Cérebro da Criança mostra como cultivar um desenvolvimento emocional e intelectual saudável para que seus filhos possam levar uma vida equilibrada, significativa e conectada.

Mengasuh anak itu jelas tidak mudah. Tapi, mendampingi anak, dan benar-benar ada di sampingnya itu jauh lebih mudah. Dan nyatanya, dampak terbesar dimulai justru ketika Anda berada di tempat Anda sekarang, di hadapan anak Anda dan dirasakan kehadirannya. Bagaimana setiap anak akan menjadi—dalam hal kebahagiaan, kesuksesan akademis, kepemimpinan, dan memiliki hubungan yang bermakna—sangat ditentukan oleh setidaknya satu orang dewasa dalam hidup mereka yang secara konsisten muncul dan selalu ada untuk mereka. Di zaman yang padat jadwal dan penuh distraksi digital, selalu ada untuk anak Anda mungkin terdengar seperti tugas yang sangat sulit. Akan tetapi, seperti yang dijelaskan secara meyakinkan oleh penulis buku terlaris Daniel Siegel dan Tina Payne Bryson, sebenarnya hal itu tidak menuntut banyak waktu, energi, atau uang. Sebaliknya, showing up berarti menawarkan kualitas kehadiran. Setiap anak perlu merasakan apa yang disebut Siegel dan Bryson sebagai Empat S: • Safe (terlindungi): Kita tidak selalu dapat melindungi anak dari cedera atau menghindari melakukan sesuatu yang mengarah pada perasaan terluka. Tetapi ketika kita memberi pada anak rasa terlindungi, aman, dan nyaman, maka dia akan mampu mengambil risiko yang diperlukan untuk bertumbuh dan menghadapi perubahan. • Seen (terlihat): Benar-benar melihat seorang anak berarti kita memperhatikan emosinya—baik positif maupun negatif—dan berusaha menyesuaikan diri dengan apa yang terjadi di dalam benaknya di balik perilakunya. • Soothed (ditenangkan): Diberi ketenangan bukan tentang memberikan kehidupan yang nyaman. Ini tentang mengajari anak Anda bagaimana cara mengatasi ketika hidup menjadi sulit, dan menunjukkan kepadanya bahwa Anda akan berusaha selalu ada bersamanya di sepanjang perjalanan—bahwa dia tidak akan pernah menderita sendirian. • Secure (aman): Ketika seorang anak tahu bahwa dia dapat mengandalkan Anda akan selalu muncul dan menemani—ketika Anda memberikan rasa aman, fokus untuk melihat hanya kepadanya, dan menenangkannya pada saat dibutuhkan—anak akan percaya pada perasaan kelekatan yang aman. Dan terus berkembang! The Power of Showing Up berbagi cerita, percakapan, strategi sederhana, ilustrasi, dan tip untuk menerapkan Empat S secara efektif dalam berbagai jenis situasi. Buku ini adalah panduan yang ampuh untuk mengembangkan lanskap emosional anak yang sehat.

Wirklich da sein, statt perfekt sein Eltern wollen immer nur das Beste für ihr Kind. So setzen sie sich selbst allerdings leicht unter enormen Druck. In diesem Ratgeber befreit das erfolgreiche Autorenduo Daniel Siegel und Tina Bryson Eltern von dem Anspruch, perfekt sein zu müssen. Basierend auf aktuellen Erkenntnissen aus Neurowissenschaften und Bindungsforschung geben sie Eltern konkrete Strategien an die Hand, wie sie ihre Kinder dabei unterstützen können, dass aus ihnen körperlich und mental starke Menschen werden. Über allem steht dabei das Bestreben, für Kinder da zu sein, wenn sie uns brauchen. Die Autoren sagen selbst: »Das klingt so einfach, ist aber gar nicht so leicht.« Wie es dennoch gelingen kann, führen die Autoren in diesem Buch anschaulich und praxisnah aus.

Parenting isn’t easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood. “There is parenting magic in this book.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain 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 bestselling 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. And it’s simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child’s healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S’s: • Safe: We can’t always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change. • Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions—both positive and negative—and strive to attune to what’s happening in his mind beneath his behavior. • Soothed: Soothing isn’t about providing a life of ease; it’s about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you’ll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he’ll never have to suffer alone. • Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up—when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive! Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S’s effectively in all kinds of situations—when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don’t show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it’s never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child’s healthy emotional landscape.

Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your fifth-grader sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field. Do children conspire to make their parents'' lives endlessly challenging? No -- it''s just their developing brain calling the shots! In this book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the science of how a child''s brain is wired and how it matures. The "upstairs brain," which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids can seem -- and feel -- so out of control. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child''s brain and foster vital growth. --

Apply the best science to all your parenting decisions with this essential A–Z guide for your biggest questions and concerns from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline Every baby- and toddler-care decision sends parents scrambling to do the right thing, and often down into the rabbit hole of conflicting advice. Dr. Tina Payne Bryson has sifted through the reliable research (including about all those old wives’ tales) and will help you make a manageable molehill out of the mountain of information and answer more than sixty common concerns and dilemmas, including • Breast or bottle? Or breast and bottle?

Dr. Bryson boils things down with authority, demystifying the issues in three distinct sections: an objective summary of the schools of thought on the topic, including commonly held pros and cons; a clear and concise primer on “What the Science Says”; and a Bottom Line conclusion. When the science doesn’t point clearly in one direction, she guides you to assess and apply the information in a way that’s consistent with your family’s principles and meets your child’s unique needs. Full of warmth, expert wisdom, and blessedly bite-sized explanations, The Bottom Line for Baby will help you prioritize what you really need to know and do during the first year of precious life.

Daniel Siegel e Tina Payne Bryson, autori del bestseller «12 strategie rivoluzionarie per favorire lo sviluppo mentale del bambino», si occupano ora, con la stessa competenza e lo stesso approccio innovativo, della sfida più importante per chi cresce un figlio: la disciplina. Il testo chiarisce il rapporto tra lo sviluppo cerebrale del bambino e il modo dei genitori di reagire ai suoi cattivi comportamenti, offrendo un valido piano d’azione per affrontare, senza violenza ma con comprensione, tensioni e crisi di collera. Partendo dal reale significato del termine “disciplina” (istruire e insegnare, non rimproverare), gli autori mostrano come entrare in sintonia con il bambino e incanalare le sue emozioni per trasformare una crisi di rabbia o di pianto in un’opportunità di crescita. Così si potrà spezzare il circolo vizioso di capricci del bambino e punizioni del genitore, sostituendolo con strategie più efficaci e adeguate a ogni fase dello sviluppo. Grazie alle spiegazioni semplici e chiare, ai consigli pratici, ai fumetti e ai disegni accattivanti che chiariscono con immediatezza le indicazioni degli autori, questo libro costituisce una grande risorsa per ogni famiglia.

Uno dei dati scientifici che consentono di prevedere con più affidabilità l’esito positivo dello sviluppo del bambino è il fatto che ci sia stata nella sua vita almeno una persona capace di essere presente con regolarità per lui. In un’epoca di distrazioni digitali e impegni pressanti, esserci per un figlio potrebbe sembrare un compito davvero arduo. Ma, rassicurano Daniel Siegel e Tina Payne Bryson, essere presenti non richiede necessariamente grandi quantità di tempo e di energia. Esserci significa offrire al bambino una presenza di qualità, semplice da assicurare se si tiene conto di quel che serve per un sano sviluppo infantile: protezione, comprensione, conforto e sicurezza, il “poker dell’attaccamento”. Basato sulle ultime scoperte delle neuroscienze, questo volume contiene racconti, “piani d’azione”, semplici strategie e suggerimenti per fornire al bambino il “poker dell’attaccamento” in ogni situazione: quando incontra difficoltà o, invece, riesce brillantemente in un compito e anche quando ci scusiamo per le volte in cui non ci siamo stati per lui. Una guida preziosa per coltivare nel bambino un sano paesaggio emotivo.

El poder de la presencia plantea una pregunta sencilla a la vez que crucial sobre la crianza de los hijos: ¿qué es lo más importante que una madre o un padre puede hacer para ayudar a sus hijos a salir adelante y a sentirse a gusto en el mundo? La respuesta de Daniel J. Siegel y Tina Payne Bryson, autores del bestseller mundial El cerebro del niño, es muy clara: debemos estar presentes en la vida de nuestros hijos. El poder de la presencia explica qué significa estar presente y cómo influye en los hijos para ser felices, estar sanos y tener éxito en la vida y en las relaciones personales.

Dos autores de Disciplina Sem Dramas chega-nos o guia indispensável para trabalhar a capacidade inata e resiliência e criatividade dos seus filhos. Sempre que há um conflito potencial - desligar o telemóvel, fazer os trabalhos de casa, comer os “verdes”, ir para a cama -muitas crianças tendem a responder negativamente. Ou seja, em vez de se mostrarem recetivas, tornam-se reativas. É aquilo a que o Prof. Dr. Daniel J. Siegel (psiquiatra) e a Dra. Tina Payne Bryson (psicoterapeuta) chamam uma resposta de Cérebro Não. Tudo isso é natural, sobretudo até aos três anos. No entanto é possível, ainda antes dessa idade, começar a ensinar os nossos filhos a terem uma atitude de abertura e curiosidade. Quando as crianças trabalham o Cérebro Sim, estão mais abertas a arriscar e a explorar. São mais curiosas e imaginativas. Desenvolvem melhores relações e dão respostas mais eficazes a contratempos. No livro Crianças Sim, os autores fornecem aos pais as competências, guiões e atividades que lhes permitirão ajudar os filhos, de todas as idades, a entrarem mais facilmente no estado “Sim”. Um Cérebro Sim é ativo, aberto e disponível para se adaptar ao ambiente e mudar de rumo, mantendo a alegria típica dos miúdos.

¿Cómo podemos potenciar la resiliencia, la compasión y la creatividad esenciales en nuestros hijos? Tras vender más de 350.000 ejemplares en Estados Unidos de El cerebro del niño (The Whole-Brain Child), y permanecer, cinco años después de su primera edición, en un lugar destacado en la lista deparentingde The New York Times, Siegel y Bryson nos brindan en esta ocasión una serie de instrucciones, consejos y actividades para «resetear» el cerebro en desarrollo del niño con el fin de fomentar su curiosidad por el entorno, sus capacidades intelectuales, su equilibrio emocional, su potencial de resiliencia y su empatía; todo ello con una importante consecuencia, que no es otra que la de alcanzar la felicidad personal y familiar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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 challenges, unpleasant tasks, and contentious issues such as homework, 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 bestselling 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. Parents can foster their children’s ability to say yes to the world and welcome all that life has to offer, even during difficult times. This is what it means to cultivate a Yes Brain. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative, less worried about making mistakes. They’re better at relationships and more flexible and resilient when it comes to handling adversity and big feelings. They work from a clear internal compass that directs their decisions, as well as the way they treat others. Guided by their Yes Brain, they become more open, creative, and resilient. In The Yes Brain, the authors give parents skills, scripts, ideas, and activities to bring kids of all ages into the overwhelmingly 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. With inspirational anecdotes, fun and helpful illustrations, and a handy Yes Brain Refrigerator Sheet to keep your family on point, The Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive potential and keeping your child’s inner spark glowing and growing strong—and gifting your children with a life of rich relational connections, meaningful interactions with the world, and emotional equanimity.

FROM THE BESTSELLING PARENTING EXPERTS BEHIND THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD COMES A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PLAN FOR HELPING YOUR CHILD BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT AND RESILIENT. ‘This unique book shows us how to help our children embrace life with all of its challenges. It’s a treasure chest of parenting insights and techniques’ CAROL DWECK, bestselling author of Mindset Children can often act out or shut down when faced with a setback or a tricky issue like homework, food or screen time. This is what acclaimed parenting experts Dr Siegel and Dr Bryson call the ‘No Brain’ response. But you can help your child develop the ability to cope, solve their own problems and thrive by nurturing their ‘Yes Brain’. Drawing on their successful work with thousands of parents and children from all backgrounds, Dr Siegel and Dr Bryson provide the advice, tools and activities to help parents with children of all ages. This is what the ‘Yes Brain’ approach looks like in action: *A 5-year-old boy thinks about his first day at school and says, ‘I’m nervous but I’ll give it a try.’ *An 8 year-old girl says, ‘I’d like to join the football team, even though none of my friends like football.’ *A 14 year-old boy looks at a test he’s earned a D- for and says, ‘That’s not the mark I wanted but it’s not the end of the world. I’ll ask the teacher how I can improve.’
