Daniel J. Siegel

By the New York Times bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline. What’s the one thing a parent can do to make the most difference to their child in the long term? The research is clear: be present, show up! One of the best predictors for any child’s future happiness and success is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. With all of today’s demands and distractions, this might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling parenting experts Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, showing up doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. It’s simple to do once you understand the four building blocks of a child’s healthy development: making them feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure. Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for when our kids are struggling or when they’re enjoying success; when we’re consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we’re apologising for the times we haven’t shown up for them. Demonstrating that it’s never too late to correct mistakes and mend broken trust, this is a powerful guide to cultivating your child’s healthy emotional landscape.

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.

Den toårige, der går i flitsbue i supermarkedet. Børnehavebarnet, der nægter at klæde sig på om morgenen. Den 12-årige, der surmuler. Søskende, der konstant er i totterne på hinanden. Det kan være anstrengende for både børn og forældre, men det er faktisk helt, som det skal være, når hjernen udvikler sig. Psykiater Daniel J. Siegel og psykoterapeut Tina Payne Bryson beskriver i denne bog, hvordan barnets hjerne modnes, og hvordan det påvirker barnets adfærd og humør. Samtidig præsenterer de 12 nøglestrategier til, hvordan man som forælder eller omsorgsperson kan møde barnet med forståelse og støtte dets udvikling.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"Siegel & Bryson gör ett lysande jobb med att både förklara barnets hjärnas utveckling och guida oss förbi de vanligaste misstagen vi gör när vi försöker hantera våra minikloner."- Henrik Fexeus, författare, programledare och expert på ordlös kommunikation"En kanonbra bok om barnets hjärna som gynnar både känslomässig och intellektuell utveckling. Rik på exempel för både barn och vuxna. Rekommenderas starkt!" - Mattias Ribbing, författare och minnesmästareI den här banbrytande och kritikerrosade boken erbjuder neuropsykiatriken Daniel J. Siegel och föräldraskapsexperten Tina Payne Bryson 12 nyckelstrategier som stimulerar barnets emotionella och intellektuella utveckling och som leder till lugnare och gladare barn. Författarna förklarar hur nervbanorna i barnets hjärna är kopplade och hur hjärnan mognar. Övervåningens hjärna, som fattar beslut och balanserar känslor, är inte färdigutvecklad förrän vid tjugofemårsåldern. Och särskilt hos små barn tenderar den högra hjärnhalvan med sina känslor att ta kommandot över den logiska vänstra hjärnhalvan. Inte undra på att barn får frispel, slåss eller sitter tysta och tjurar. Genom att tillämpa de här upptäckterna i det dagliga föräldraskapet kan du omvandla varje utbrott, gräl eller rädsla till en möjlighet att integrera ditt barns hjärna och främja en positiv utveckling." Det handlar om hjärnforskning men denna briljanta bok är upplagd så att den är hjälpsam för en stor bredd av läsare. Varje strategi har till exempel illustrerats i serieform och i slutet av boken finns allt beskrivet i sammandrag och anpassat till olika åldrar." - BTJ-häftet nr 16, 2019, Therese Nordholm"Ibland får jag frågan om att skriva en bok om hur barn funkar också. Jag tackar alltid nej, för sanningen är att den här boken redan finns. Siegel & Bryson gör ett lysande jobb med att både förklara barnets hjärnas utveckling och guida oss förbi de vanligaste misstagen vi gör när vi försöker hantera våra minikloner. Och nu finns den på svenska!" - Henrik Fexeus, författare, programledare och expert på ordlös kommunikation"Empatiska strategier för att få ditt barn att ta det lugnt." - Washington Post"Boken visar hur en integrerad hjärna med delar som samverkar på ett samordnat och balanserat sätt skapar en bättre förståelse för självet, starkare relationer och framgång i skolan - bland andra fördelar. Med illustrationer, diagram och till och med en praktisk "kylskåpslapp" har författarna gjort sitt yttersta för att göra hjärnvetenskap föräldravänlig." - Publishers Weekly"Siegel och Bryson har skapat en mästerlig och läsarvänlig guide till hur man hjälper barn att utveckla sin emotionella intelligens. Denna lysande metod omvandlar vardagens samvaro till värdefulla stunder, då hjärnan formas. Alla som bryr sig om och älskar barn bör läsa boken." - Daniel Goleman, författare till Känslans intelligens"Enkla, smarta och effektiva lösningar på barnets utmaningar." - dr Harvey Karp

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

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The pioneering experts behind The Whole-Brain Child and The Yes Brain tackle the ultimate parenting challenge: discipline. "A lot of fascinating insights . . . an eye-opener worth reading."--Parents Highlighting the fascinating link between a child's neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears--without causing a scene. Defining the true meaning of the "d" word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth. By doing so, the cycle of negative behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as problem solving becomes a win/win situation. Inside this sanity-saving guide you'll discover: - Strategies that help parents identify their own discipline philosophy--and master the best methods to communicate the lessons they are trying to impart. - Facts on child brain development--and what kind of discipline is most appropriate and constructive at all ages and stages. - The way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child--no matter how extreme the behavior--while still setting clear and consistent limits. - Tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight, empathy, and repair. - Twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents make--and how to stay focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline techniques. Complete with candid stories and playful illustrations that bring the authors' suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline shows you how to work with your child's developing mind, peacefully resolve conflicts, and inspire happiness and strengthen resilience in everyone in the family.

Through play, as children, we learn the rules and relationships of culture and expand our tolerance of emotion. Here, leading writers such as Jaak Panksepp, Allan Schore, Pat Ogden and Louis Cozolino illuminate what play and creativity mean for the healing process at any stage of life.

How People Change explores the complexities of attachment, the brain, mind and body as they aid change during psychotherapy. Research is presented about the properties of healing relationships and communication strategies that facilitate change in the social brain. Contributors include Irving Yalom, Peter Levine, Bruce Perry, Jessica Benjamin and others.

Neuroscience studies the brain. A full examination of what we mean by the term “mind” has traditionally been the province of philosophers but here Daniel Siegel explores what neuroscience can teach us about it—how the mind differs from consciousness and how we know who we really are. In Mind, Siegel, The New York Times best-selling author, brings his characteristic sensitivity and interdisciplinary background to this most perplexing of topics. He explores the nature of the who, how, what, why and when of your mind—of your self—from the perspective of neuroscience. Mind captures the essence of our true nature, our deepest sense of being alive, here, right now, in this moment. How science explains it is one of the most exciting journeys into knowledge we can take.

Behöver du en pedagogisk vägkarta för att som vuxen kunna vara till hjälp under de omtumlande ungomsåren? Eller är det du själv som ung vuxen som vill hitta nycklarna för att utvecklas och må bra? Hjärnstorm – överlev tonårstiden med forskningens hjälp är en bok med redskap för att överleva, utvecklas och må bra under denna viktiga period i livet, skriven av Daniel Siegel, klinisk professor i psykiatri vid UCLA School of Medicine. Stadigt förankrad i forskningen om den unga hjärnan (12-24 år) avlivar Daniel Siegel ett antal myter om hjärnan under ungdomstiden, som att den är omogen och inte fungerar så ”vuxet” som den borde. Under denna intensiva utvecklingsperiod knyter vi relationer med jämnåriga, söker nya upplevelser och tar risker. Siegel hjälper oss att se vilka strategier som fungerar för både vuxna och unga – vilka gränser som behöver sprängas och vilka gränser vuxenvärlden kan sätta. Boken innehåller faktabaserade kapitel om hjärnan, anknytningsrelationer och vår utveckling från barn till vuxna. Till varje kapitel hör övningar och verktyg som bygger på de nya kunskaper om hjärnan som Siegel tidigare även presenterat i banbrytande böcker som The Mindful Brain, The Developing Mind och Mindsight.. Med Hjärnstorm – överlev tonårstiden med forskningens hjälp introduceras Siegel för svenska läsare. Boken riktar sig till både föräldrar och unga vuxna. Lärare och andra som arbetar med tonåringar och unga vuxna har också stor nytta av bokens budskap och praktiska verktyg. OM DANIEL J SIEGEL, MDDaniel Siegel är klinisk professor i psykiatri vid UCLA School of Medicine och en av cheferna för UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center samt arbetande styrelsemedlem vid Mindsight Institute. Daniel Siegel bor med sin hustru i Los Angeles och har två barn i tjugoårsåldern.

In this "New York Times"-bestselling book, Dr. Daniel Siegel shows parents how to turn one of the most challenging developmental periods in their children's lives into one of the most rewarding. Between the ages of twelve and twenty-four, the brain changes in important and, at times, challenging ways. In "Brainstorm," Dr. Daniel Siegel busts a number of commonly held myths about adolescence--for example, that it is merely a stage of "immaturity" filled with often "crazy" behavior. According to Siegel, during adolescence we learn vital skills, such as how to leave home and enter the larger world, connect deeply with others, and safely experiment and take risks. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel explores exciting ways in which understanding how the brain functions can improve the lives of adolescents, making their relationships more fulfilling and less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.
