The “YES” Brain

Hello Tiger Tamers! Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have a new book—THE YES BRAIN—coming out this week. It builds on their previous work, which you may already know about: the New York Times bestsellers THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD and NO-DRAMA DISCIPLINE. I’ve used these books and recommend them to parents often. In The Yes Brain, Dan and Tina introduce us to the Yes Brain and discussing practical ways we can nurture our children and encourage important life skills like emotional regulation, resilience, insight, and empathy. They talk about how to help kids remain open and flexible in their approach to the world (saying YES) as opposed to being shut down, reactive, and rigid (saying NO). A child with a Yes Brain is both happier and easier to parent! Amy Reamer, LMFT, RPT
