The Yes Brain Child
Daniel J. Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson
2019
This empowering guide explores how to cultivate openness, resilience, and balance in children. Through the lens of brain science, Siegel and Bryson show how to encourage a “Yes Brain” mindset—flexible, curious, and emotionally aware—versus a “No Brain” state of fear and reactivity.
Why It’s Included:
It provides practical tools to nurture children’s emotional health, autonomy, and decision-making while supporting the core values of gentle parenting: empathy, respect, and connection.
Who It’s For:

“In an increasingly uncertain world, how can we support our children to develop the skills they need to thrive?”
