How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child
0 of 3 copies available
Wait time: Available soon
When facing contentious issues such as 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. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative. They’re better at relationships and handling adversity. In The Yes Brain, the authors give parents skills, scripts, and activities to bring kids of all ages into the 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
The Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive potential and keeping your child’s inner spark glowing and growing strong.
Includes a bonus PDF with fun graphics and tools to help you cultivate the YES BRAIN in your child and you!

Siegel and Bryson dive deeper into the ideas introduced in their bestselling The Whole-Brain Child to offer parents the tools needed to develop a child’s “yes brain”—a receptive state of mind that encourages curiosity, compassion, and adaptation, qualities identified here as critical life skills that will lead children to “do more, learn more, and become more.” Buoyed by neuroscientific research, Siegel and Bryson’s plan focuses on fostering four crucial components of resilience—balance, resilience, insight, and empathy, with a single chapter devoted to each—and extols the importance of nurturing these traits while helping your child integrate all in order to “live meaningfully and find success.” Each of these chapters concludes with cartoons illustrating that section’s content that are meant to be shared with children, as well as tips to promote the same traits in oneself as a parent and individual. Siegel and Bryson have taken a high-level concept and broken it down into an approach that is easy to understand and implement. Parents, grandparents, teachers, clinicians, and other caregivers will find something in the plan that they can use to help the children in their care to excel.
