Review: No Drama Discipline by Daniel Segal and Tina Payne Bryson
I started parenthood around the moment that the pandemic started. The lockdown and my maleness meant that I didn't really get a lot of in-person advice about parenting. I relied on books to be a father and equal parent to my child. One of my favorite books is The Whole Brain Child by Dr. Daniel Segal (@DrDanSiegel) and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson (@tinabryson). They wrote another book that I just finished: No Drama Discipline.
THE WHOLE-BRAIN WAY TO CALM THE CHAOS AND NURTURE YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPING MIND FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHORS OF THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD, DANIEL J. SIEGEL, MD, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MINDSIGHT, AND, TINA PAYNE BRYSON, PhD

My kiddo is starting to gather her own will. I have been encountering all of the tantrums, demands, and hitting that you might expect. At first, I had no idea what to do. Then, No Drama Discipline and #GentleParenting Tik Tok helped me to develop a philosophy that guides my parenting actions to teach my child emotional regulation instead ugly pavlovian behavioral approaches.

I can't recommend No Drama Discipline enough for anyone that interacts with children, teenagers, and honestly, even adults.
