NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than 1 million copies in print! • The authors of No-Drama Discipline and The Yes Brain explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures in this pioneering, practical book. “Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child’s struggles.”—Harvey Karp, M.D. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain—and make accessible—the new 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 throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. 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. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives. “[A] useful child-rearing resource for the entire family . . . The authors include a fair amount of brain science, but they present it for both adult and child audiences.”—Kirkus Reviews “Strategies for getting a youngster to chill out [with] compassion.”—The Washington Post “This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The Whole-Brain Child. This is my new baby gift.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other “Gives parents and teachers ideas to get all parts of a healthy child’s brain working together.”—Parent to Parent

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.

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? Will that cause nipple confusion? • What’s the latest recommendation for introducing solids in light of potential allergies? • Should I sign us up for music and early-language classes? • What’s the evidence for and against circumcision? • When is the right time to wean my baby off her pacifier? • How do I get this child to sleep through the night?! 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’ll ask the teacher how I can improve.’

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.

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.

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.

Em "O cérebro da criança", um livro prático, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsiquiatra e autor de "O poder da visão mental", e a especialista em criação de filhos, Tina Payne Bryson, desmistificam os ataques de fúria e a irritação, explicando a nova ciência sobre como o cérebro de uma 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 das crianças, pais e educadores poderão transformar qualquer explosão, discussão ou medo, em uma oportunidade de integrar o cérebro da criança e promover crescimento vital. Repleto de explicações claras, estratégias adequadas a cada idade para lidar com as dificuldades do dia a dia e ilustrações que ajudarão a explicar os conceitos às crianças, o livro mostra como cultivar desenvolvimento emocional e intelectual saudável para que elas possam levar vidas equilibradas, significativas e conectadas.
