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.

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 positivityThe Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive potential and keeping your child’s inner spark glowing and growing strong.

Tenacity in Children
Nurturing the Seven Instincts for Lifetime Success Tenacity in Children examines how multiple generations of parents and caregivers raised children to become successful adults.

This volume highlights the ways in which these instincts are more important than ever in preparing children for tomorrow's successes. Key areas of coverage include individual chapters devoted to examining each of the seven instincts - intuitive optimism, intrinsic motivation, compassionate empathy, simultaneous intelligence, genuine altruism, virtuous responsibility, and measured fairness - as well as practical strategies to guide children in acquiring and fine-tuning these essential human instincts.
