The simple way to help your kids face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills—from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist “A parenting guide as useful as it is scientifically sound, The Way of Play is a gift for anyone who cares about human development and the growth-promoting importance of having fun in life!”—Daniel J. Siegel, MD Most parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time. Playing with your kids doesn’t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent break down seven simple, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day: • Leaning in to emotions helps children let go of anxieties, drama, and chaotic behavior. • Tuning in to the body teaches children to practice the art of surfing sensory waves. • Storytelling promotes better problem-solving. • Thinking out loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with parents, siblings, and everyone else. Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships.

Bayangkan, betapa damainya hidup Anda sebagai orangtua apabila anak-anak dalam kesehariannya memberi respons dengan positif—akur dengan saudara, rajin mengerjakan tugas sekolah, mematuhi batasan waktu layar, menikmati masakan yang disajikan. Mereka bebas dari drama, sikap defensif, bahkan dari menutup diri. Keterampilan merespons inilah yang disebut oleh Daniel J. Siegel dan Tina Payne Bryson sebagai Yes Brain. Bukan mengubah anak menjadi “robot” penurut tanpa memiliki kendali diri, tetapi Yes Brain dapat membantu anak untuk menyadari siapa mereka, ingin menjadi manusia seperti apa mereka kelak, serta dapat membuat mereka sanggup mengatasi kekecewaan serta kekalahan. Melalui ragam keterampilan dan aktivitas sehari-hari yang tersaji dalam buku ini, orangtua dapat membantu anak, segala usia, untuk memiliki Yes Brain, bekal tumbuhnya sikap berani, penuh rasa ingin tahu, dan tangguh dalam menghadapi segala tantangan.

Mengasuh anak itu jelas tidak mudah. Tapi, mendampingi anak, dan benar-benar ada di sampingnya itu jauh lebih mudah. Dan nyatanya, dampak terbesar dimulai justru ketika Anda berada di tempat Anda sekarang, di hadapan anak Anda dan dirasakan kehadirannya. Bagaimana setiap anak akan menjadi—dalam hal kebahagiaan, kesuksesan akademis, kepemimpinan, dan memiliki hubungan yang bermakna—sangat ditentukan oleh setidaknya satu orang dewasa dalam hidup mereka yang secara konsisten muncul dan selalu ada untuk mereka. Di zaman yang padat jadwal dan penuh distraksi digital, selalu ada untuk anak Anda mungkin terdengar seperti tugas yang sangat sulit. Akan tetapi, seperti yang dijelaskan secara meyakinkan oleh penulis buku terlaris Daniel Siegel dan Tina Payne Bryson, sebenarnya hal itu tidak menuntut banyak waktu, energi, atau uang. Sebaliknya, showing up berarti menawarkan kualitas kehadiran. Setiap anak perlu merasakan apa yang disebut Siegel dan Bryson sebagai Empat S: • Safe (terlindungi): Kita tidak selalu dapat melindungi anak dari cedera atau menghindari melakukan sesuatu yang mengarah pada perasaan terluka. Tetapi ketika kita memberi pada anak rasa terlindungi, aman, dan nyaman, maka dia akan mampu mengambil risiko yang diperlukan untuk bertumbuh dan menghadapi perubahan. • Seen (terlihat): Benar-benar melihat seorang anak berarti kita memperhatikan emosinya—baik positif maupun negatif—dan berusaha menyesuaikan diri dengan apa yang terjadi di dalam benaknya di balik perilakunya. • Soothed (ditenangkan): Diberi ketenangan bukan tentang memberikan kehidupan yang nyaman. Ini tentang mengajari anak Anda bagaimana cara mengatasi ketika hidup menjadi sulit, dan menunjukkan kepadanya bahwa Anda akan berusaha selalu ada bersamanya di sepanjang perjalanan—bahwa dia tidak akan pernah menderita sendirian. • Secure (aman): Ketika seorang anak tahu bahwa dia dapat mengandalkan Anda akan selalu muncul dan menemani—ketika Anda memberikan rasa aman, fokus untuk melihat hanya kepadanya, dan menenangkannya pada saat dibutuhkan—anak akan percaya pada perasaan kelekatan yang aman. Dan terus berkembang! The Power of Showing Up berbagi cerita, percakapan, strategi sederhana, ilustrasi, dan tip untuk menerapkan Empat S secara efektif dalam berbagai jenis situasi. Buku ini adalah panduan yang ampuh untuk mengembangkan lanskap emosional anak yang sehat.

Wirklich da sein, statt perfekt sein Eltern wollen immer nur das Beste für ihr Kind. So setzen sie sich selbst allerdings leicht unter enormen Druck. In diesem Ratgeber befreit das erfolgreiche Autorenduo Daniel Siegel und Tina Bryson Eltern von dem Anspruch, perfekt sein zu müssen. Basierend auf aktuellen Erkenntnissen aus Neurowissenschaften und Bindungsforschung geben sie Eltern konkrete Strategien an die Hand, wie sie ihre Kinder dabei unterstützen können, dass aus ihnen körperlich und mental starke Menschen werden. Über allem steht dabei das Bestreben, für Kinder da zu sein, wenn sie uns brauchen. Die Autoren sagen selbst: »Das klingt so einfach, ist aber gar nicht so leicht.« Wie es dennoch gelingen kann, führen die Autoren in diesem Buch anschaulich und praxisnah aus.

Dr. Tina Payne Bryson has sifted through the reliable research (including about all those old wives’ tales) and will help you make a manageable molehill out of the mountain of information and answer more than sixty common concerns and dilemmas, including • Breast or bottle? Or breast and bottle?

Dr. Bryson boils things down with authority, demystifying the issues in three distinct sections: an objective summary of the schools of thought on the topic, including commonly held pros and cons; a clear and concise primer on “What the Science Says”; and a Bottom Line conclusion. When the science doesn’t point clearly in one direction, she guides you to assess and apply the information in a way that’s consistent with your family’s principles and meets your child’s unique needs. Full of warmth, expert wisdom, and blessedly bite-sized explanations, The Bottom Line for Baby will help you prioritize what you really need to know and do during the first year of precious life.

Uno dei dati scientifici che consentono di prevedere con più affidabilità l’esito positivo dello sviluppo del bambino è il fatto che ci sia stata nella sua vita almeno una persona capace di essere presente con regolarità per lui. In un’epoca di distrazioni digitali e impegni pressanti, esserci per un figlio potrebbe sembrare un compito davvero arduo. Ma, rassicurano Daniel Siegel e Tina Payne Bryson, essere presenti non richiede necessariamente grandi quantità di tempo e di energia. Esserci significa offrire al bambino una presenza di qualità, semplice da assicurare se si tiene conto di quel che serve per un sano sviluppo infantile: protezione, comprensione, conforto e sicurezza, il “poker dell’attaccamento”. Basato sulle ultime scoperte delle neuroscienze, questo volume contiene racconti, “piani d’azione”, semplici strategie e suggerimenti per fornire al bambino il “poker dell’attaccamento” in ogni situazione: quando incontra difficoltà o, invece, riesce brillantemente in un compito e anche quando ci scusiamo per le volte in cui non ci siamo stati per lui. Una guida preziosa per coltivare nel bambino un sano paesaggio emotivo.

De los autores del bestseller mundial El cerebro del niño. En una época en que padres e hijos están ocupados y distraídos con el trabajo, los estudios, las extraescolares, las nuevas tecnologías, etc., la crianza de los hijos no resulta una tarea nada fácil. En El poder de la presencia, el nuevo y esperado libro de Daniel J. Siegel y Tina Payne Bryson, expertos en neurociencia y educación infantil, y autores, entre otros, del bestseller mundial El cerebro del niño, plantean la importancia de estar presentes en la vida de los hijos de una manera cualitativa creando un vínculo que los ayuda a sentirse seguros y conectados con el mundo. Basándose en las investigaciones más recientes de la ciencia del apego y la neurobiología interpersonal, este estudio establece cuatro aspectos fundamentales para la educación. Los niños necesitan sentirse seguros, vistos, consolados y a salvo. Estas cuatro cualidades producen un apego seguro, elemento clave para un desarrollo saludable. Gracias a él, el niño es más feliz, emocionalmente más equilibrado, resiliente, empático y perspicaz y, sin lugar a dudas, más preparado para las dificultades con las que se encontrará a lo largo de su vida. El libro incluye también historias, estrategias simples, ilustraciones y consejos para todo tipo de situaciones: cuando nuestros hijos tienen dificultades o tienen éxito; cuando los estamos consolando, aleccionando o discutiendo con ellos; e incluso cuando nos disculpamos por las veces que no estamos presentes. Los autores demuestran que los errores y pasos en falso son reparables y que nunca es demasiado tarde para recomponer la confianza rota. «Este libro único y emocionante nos enseña a ayudar a los niños a abrazar la vida con todos sus desafíos y a prosperar en el mundo moderno. Integrando la investigación del desarrollo social, la psicología clínica y la neurociencia, es un verdadero cofre del tesoro de ideas y técnicas de crianza.» Carol S. Dweck, autora de Mindset «Hay magia parental en este libro.» Michael Thompson, coautor, Raising Cain

Parenting isn’t easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood. “There is parenting magic in this book.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out—in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships—is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it’s simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child’s healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S’s: • Safe: We can’t always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change. • Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions—both positive and negative—and strive to attune to what’s happening in his mind beneath his behavior. • Soothed: Soothing isn’t about providing a life of ease; it’s about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you’ll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he’ll never have to suffer alone. • Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up—when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive! Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S’s effectively in all kinds of situations—when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don’t show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it’s never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child’s healthy emotional landscape.

Dans la lignée du Cerveau de votre enfant (17 000 ex) et de La Discipline sans drame : le guide indispensable pour amener les enfants vers une attitude positive et apaisée.

From the authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, an indispensable guide to unlocking your child’s innate capacity for resilience, compassion, and creativity. When facing contentious issues such as screen time, food choices, and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times bestselling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative. They’re better at relationships and handling adversity. In The Yes Brain, the authors give parents skills, scripts, and activities to bring kids of all ages into the beneficial “yes” state. You’ll learn • the four fundamentals of the Yes Brain—balance, resilience, insight, and empathy—and how to strengthen them • the key to knowing when kids need a gentle push out of a comfort zone vs. needing the “cushion” of safety and familiarity • strategies for navigating away from negative behavioral and emotional states (aggression and withdrawal) and expanding your child’s capacity for positivity The Yes Brain is an essential tool for nurturing positive potential and keeping your child’s inner spark glowing and growing strong. Praise for The Yes Brain “This unique and exciting book shows us how to help children embrace life with all of its challenges and thrive in the modern world. Integrating research from social development, clinical psychology, and neuroscience, it’s a veritable treasure chest of parenting insights and techniques.”—Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., author of Mindset “I have never read a better, clearer explanation of the impact parenting can have on a child’s brain and personality.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D. “Easily assimilated and informative, the book will help adults enable children to lead physically and emotionally satisfying and well-rounded lives filled with purpose and meaningful relationships. Edifying, easy-to-understand scientific research that shows the benefits that accrue when a child is encouraged to be inquisitive, spirited, and intrepid.”—Kirkus Reviews
