A breakfast bowl gets thrown across the kitchen, splattering milk

and cereal all over the wall. Or one of your kids threatens a younger sibling.

Or you get a call from the headteacher's office for the third

time this month. What do you do?

No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map

for dealing with such tantrums, tensions, and tears - without causing

a scene. Based on recent discoveries about the brain that give us deep

insights into the children we care for, what they need, and how to discipline

them in ways that foster optimal development, this book

offers a 'relational' approach that builds on children's innate desire

to please their parents and get along well with others.

Complete with candid stories and playful illustrations that bring

the authors' suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline presents clear

messages in a practical and inviting format. Using these techniques, you can

discipline your children in a way that's high on relationship-building, high on

respect, and low on drama and conflict. As a result, your life as

a parent will be easier, and your parenting will become more effective. And

more importantly, you'll create connections in your children's brains to build

emotional and social skills that will serve them now and throughout their

entire life - all while strengthening your relationship with them.
