By doing so, the cycle of negative behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as problem solving becomes a win/win situation. Inside this sanity-saving guide you'll discover:

• strategies that help parents and caregivers identify their own discipline philosophy and master the best methods to communicate the lessons they are trying to impart
• facts on child brain development and what kind of discipline is most appropriate and constructive at all ages and stages
• the way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child no matter how extreme the behavior while still setting clear and consistent limits
• tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight, empathy, and repair
• twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents and caregivers make and how to stay focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline techniques

Complete with candid parenting stories and playful illustrations that bring the authors’ suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline shows you how to work with your child’s developing mind, peacefully resolve conflicts, and inspire happiness and strengthen resilience in everyone in the family.
