Are you a dad, a grandpa, an uncle, or a male youth educator, coach, or caregiver who is fostering the development of children? Are you seeking some peer-to-peer support & resources? We invite you to join our discussion in March and April as we learn, share, and reflect together on better ways to fulfill our roles.

No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind

"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 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 caregiver will be easier, and your caring for children will become more effective. And more importantly, you'll create connections in 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.

'What a relief! Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson take the difficulty out of discipline, for anyone who has to help kids behave. No-Drama Discipline offers a research-based, commonsense approach that any grown-up will be happy to use, and any kid will benefit from."
