- How to unplug so you can tune-in to your child
- How to balance kids' involvements with carving out family time
- How to talk to kids about tough topics without scaring them
And so much more!

About “The Power of Showing Up”
What’s the one thing a parent can do to make the most difference in the long run? The research is clear: Show up! In their latest book, best-selling authors Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson explain what this means over the course of childhood.
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 Siegel and Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it’s simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child’s healthy development.
