When faced with difficulties and issues that cause conflicts, such as reading, screen time, dietary choices, and bedtime, children often explode or shut themselves off, behaving reactively instead of receptively. This is what the two bestselling authors of the New York Times, Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, call the No Brain reaction. However, our children can learn to approach life with an open mind and curiosity. Parents can strengthen their children's ability to say yes to the world and welcome everything that life has to offer them, even in difficult times. This means cultivating the Yes Brain.

When children operate from the Yes Brain position, they are more willing to take risks and explore. They are more curious and creative, worrying less about making mistakes. They are better in their relationships and more flexible and mentally resilient in the face of adversity and intense emotions. They operate with a clear, internal compass that guides their decisions and how they behave towards others. Guided by the Yes Brain, they become more open, more creative, and gain greater mental resilience.

In "The Yes Brain," the authors present parents with skills, scenarios, ideas, and activities that can bring children of all ages into the highly beneficial state of "yes." You will learn:

- the four fundamental characteristics of the Yes Brain -balance, resilience, insight, and empathy- and how to strengthen them,
- how to discern when children need a little push outside their comfort zone versus moments when they need a safety net and their familiar environment,
- strategies for leaving behind negative behaviors and negative emotional states (aggression and withdrawal) and for enhancing your child's potential for positivity.

With inspiring personal examples, fun and helpful illustrations, and a very practical summary presentation at the end of the book, "The Yes Brain" is an important tool for enhancing positive potential and for keeping your child's inner spark alive and growing stronger - a tool for offering your children a life with rich relationships, meaningful interactions with the world around them, and mental calmness.
