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 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!

In short this book is about helping you and your children bring balance to your life. This books is aimed for parents with school aged children. It’s good advice, but it assumes a life with access and free of complexity - so I proceed with caution when recommending it to others.

It’s nicely narrated. It’s fairly well paced. One of the author sounds a bit like George Clooney. A few moments it feels a bit “smug” or “corny” - but it’s really worth a listen.

Aims to bring balance to kids and parents.

Helpful scenarios. Third party voices would be interesting for acting out the dialogues. I recommend this for any parent!
