His book, The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child is Dr. Dan’s newest book, co-authored with Tina Payne Bryson. You do not want to miss this engaging talk on this fascinating topic. Dr. Dan takes us through a meditation that brings me to tears… This profound experience is a special moment to share. Dr. Dan discusses how to get your child out of the NO brain state into and into a completely different nervous system - the YES brain. The YES brain is filled with courage, curiosity, balance, resilience, insight, and empathy -- all characteristics that are so important for dyslexic children.
