Everyone has their own opinions and ways of raising their own children. But it doesn’t hurt to get some expert advice and hear what research tells us. Neuropsychiatrist, Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., and parent expert, Tina Payne Bryson, PH.D., help parents understand their children’s behavior by explaining how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures.

By understanding how your child’s brain is constructed, you can foster growth in an age-appropriate and positive manner. Daniel and Tina, give parents deep insight into caring for children, describing their needs, and how to discipline them in ways that foster optimal development in their second book No-Drama Discipline. This book will create connections in your child’s brains to build emotional and social skills that will serve them now and throughout their entire life. These two books are well worth your time. Get to know you child in a deeper way with The Whole Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline.
