The Yes Brain

Guest: Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, Author, “The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Children” Parents of school-aged children can exhaust themselves trying to provide all the opportunities a well-rounded child needs to succeed: challenging schoolwork, music and art lessons, sports teams, field trips to museums and parks. All good things. But sometimes, in our quest to give our kids the best opportunities we neglect their emotional growth, which also takes time, energy and expertise to cultivate. But investing in kids’ emotional health continues to pay dividends long after kids have forgotten about dusty soccer trophies and academic gold stars.
