No-Drama Discipline Mindful Parenting Book

No-Drama Discipline: the bestselling parenting guide to nurturing your child's developing mind (Mindful Parenting) is a practical, compassionate resource for parents, caregivers, and teachers who want to handle tantrums, tensions, and testing behaviour without escalating the situation. Designed for families who prefer a brain-based, relationship-first approach, this paperback edition offers clear strategies that help children learn self-control and emotional regulation while preserving connection and respect.

This brand new paperback edition (Condition: BRAND NEW; Format: Paperback; ISBN: 9781922247568) walks you through real-life scenarios — from cereal splashed across the kitchen to sibling threats and repeated school calls — and shows how to respond in ways that teach rather than punish. Rooted in recent discoveries about the developing brain, the book explains why certain responses work and others make things worse. The result is a calm, effective road map for discipline that strengthens the parent–child relationship.

What you'll find inside

The book breaks down discipline into relatable, step-by-step guidance you can apply immediately. It focuses on a "relational" model that builds on children’s natural desire to please and get along, helping adults redirect behavior through connection and consistent limits. Key themes include:

• Brain-aware explanations: Understand the biological and emotional drivers behind tantrums and defiance so you can respond wisely.
• Practical techniques: Clear strategies for calming, remembering limits, and teaching long-term self-regulation.
• Real-life examples: Everyday scenes and suggested responses that make the ideas easy to practice at home or school.

Benefits for parents, teachers, and caregivers

• Promotes calm, consistent discipline that preserves emotional connection.

Trustworthy, easy to read, and immediately useful—this paperback edition is a timeless addition to any child's support network and an excellent tool for building calmer, more connected family life.
