Quick quotes

    The philosophy of _No-Drama Discipline_ derives from empathic love, and how we communicate that through understanding and learning in our children’s most difficult moments.

    It’s a road leading through our common humanity but with clear limits. It’s not a cage, and it’s not the blank horizon. It’s an open field offering freedom, but with fences.

    The book was a guiderail, a re-direction back onto the road of good parenting where I had been going off road through rough terrain unnecessarily.

The book offers an insightful and educational approach to discipline and parenting, focusing on understanding the child's brain and using teachable moments rather than punishment. It emphasizes the importance of parental intuition and tailoring discipline to the child's unique needs, promoting a calm and drama-free approach.

The book provides a refreshing perspective on parenting and discipline, challenging the notion of a perfect parent or ideal approach. Instead, it advocates for a non-punitive, teachable moment approach that aligns with the child's brain development. By understanding the different parts of the brain and avoiding punitive measures, parents can foster a more receptive and emotionally calm environment. The authors emphasize the importance of parental intuition and tailoring discipline to the child's unique needs, promoting a calm and drama-free approach. This book is a wonderful guide for parents seeking to raise happier, healthier, and more well-adjusted children.

Quick quotes

    There is no ‘perfect parent’ or ‘ideal’ approach to tackling the issues of disciplining a child.

    By talking and redirecting over punishing and lecturing, the authors propose that a child and their brain will become no only more receptive to addressing issues, but also more capable of digesting behaviours in need of change.

    I especially enjoyed the ‘discipline is not all about punishment’ approach, for I never saw the difference.

Quick quotes

    Essentially, we want caregivers to begin to think of discipline as one of the most loving and nurturing things we can do for kids. Our children need to learn skills like inhibiting impulses, managing big angry feelings, and considering the impact of their behavior on others. Learning these essentials of life and relationships is what they need, and if you can provide it for them, you’ll be offering a significant gift not only to your children, but to your whole family and even the rest of the world.

    Effective discipline means that we’re not only stopping a bad behavior or promoting a good one, but also teaching skills and nurturing the connections in our children’s brains that will help them make better decisions and handle themselves well in the future.

    When we discipline we want to join with our kids in a deep way that demonstrates how much we love them. In fact, when our children are misbehaving, that’s often when they most need connection with us…However, connection isn’t the same thing as permissiveness. Connecting with our kids during discipline doesn’t mean letting them do whatever they want. In fact, just the opposite. Part of truly loving our kids, and giving them what they need, means offering them clear and consistent boundaries, creating predictable structure in their lives, as well as having high expectations for them.
