About the original book:
Parents often question whether they are doing enough to raise good kids. There seems to be so much pressure to be the perfect parent, and as a result, parents become either too soft or too harsh. In their latest collaboration, The Power of Showing Up, Siegel and Bryson leverage their decades of experience in the area of child psychology to show parents that there is a better way. Perfection shouldn’t be the goal. Instead, parents should focus on establishing a secure attachment with their child. This is achieved by ensuring that your child feels safe, seen, soothed, and secure. In other words, focus less on the child’s behavior and more on the parent-child relationship. This way, you will be able to turn your home into a secure base from which your child can launch out into the world, knowing full well that they have the support that never wavers.

Story
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 best-selling 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.

Story
Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction—for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested until Hold On to Your Kids.

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 best-selling 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.
