About this listen

 Most parenting books focus on changing a child's behaviour, but the truth is that children only change when their relationship with their parents changes. In Calm Parents, Happy Kids, Dr Laura Markham introduces an approach to parenting that eliminates threats, power struggles and manipulation, in favour of setting limits with empathy and communication. Bringing together the latest research in brain development with a focus on emotional awareness (for both parents and children), it will appeal to all parents who don’t want to force their children into compliance and lose their temper, but want to keep calm and help their children want to behave. Parenting & Families Personal Development Relationships Stress Management

Critic Reviews

Calm Parents, Happy Kids will transform your experience of parenting. Relying on a combination of up-to-the-minute brain science and the kind of practical wisdom so often missing from parenting books, Dr Laura tells you not only the ‘why’ of children’s behaviour but also ‘how’ to have calm parents and happy kids.

I wish I had listened to this book sooner! My boys are 5&7yrs old and I wished I had this books insight into parenting especially into early development of babies and how to connect. Unfortunately I was a nervous knee mother who didn’t trust my instincts and listened to other too much and have my 7 year old struggle with separation issues.
Really enjoyed this books tips and advice for coaching and guiding our children, not controlling.
Thank you.

Recommend this book for everyone!
