Free ParentEd Talk by author Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
When facing challenges, unpleasant tasks and contentious issues such as homework, screen time, food choices and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is a “No Brain” response. But what if our kids could be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity?
Join this free virtual ParentMap Live talk with renowned author Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D., and learn what it means to cultivate a “Yes Brain.” Parents can foster their children’s ability to say yes to the world and welcome all that life has to offer, even during difficult times. In this presentation based on her book (co-authored with Daniel J. Siegel, M.D.) “The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child,” Bryson will share ways to encourage this positive, engaged approach to life. Using her trademark warmth and humor, she will discuss specific strategies for creating “Yes Brain” opportunities that will allow your kids to thrive — both now and as they grow into adulthood.
