About this listen

Are you tired of repeating yourself a thousand times, only to be ignored (again) by your kids? Do you feel like the only way to get cooperation is through bribes, threats, or yelling—and even that doesn’t really work? You’re not alone. And it’s not your fault.

In The Listening Cure, you'll discover a radically effective—and radically peaceful—way to parent that actually builds trust, emotional intelligence, and real cooperation. Based on the proven science of attachment, positive discipline, and nonviolent communication, this is the must-have guide for frustrated parents who are ready to ditch the power struggles and finally feel heard in their own homes. What if your child wanted to listen… because they felt heard?

This book flips everything you’ve been taught about parenting on its head—and it works. You’ll learn how to stop using short-term fixes like sticker charts, time-outs, and threats—and start using simple tools that foster connection, calm, and respect.

Whether you’re deep in toddler tantrums, navigating backtalk from your 8-year-old, or just tired of the daily battles over breakfast, bedtime, or brushing teeth, The Listening Cure gives you the step-by-step playbook you need to stop yelling and start connecting. Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Why your child “ignores” you (hint: it’s not defiance—it’s brain science)
  • The 3 biggest mistakes parents make when trying to get kids to listen—and what to do instead
  • Scripts for peaceful discipline in real-life moments (yes, even during a meltdown in Target)
  • How to replace yelling with a powerful “pause” technique that rewires your own nervous system
  • How to raise emotionally intelligent kids through everyday listening moments
  • Daily rituals and routines that build connection, not conflict

This book is for you if:

  • You want cooperation without yelling
  • You’re done with bribes, punishments, and time-outs that don’t actually work
  • You want a practical, real-world guide that works in your messy, beautiful, imperfect life
  • You believe parenting should build a stronger relationship—not a bigger power struggle

Thousands of parents are already using The Listening Cure to transform their homes—not with louder voices, but with deeper connection.

You don’t have to be a perfect parent. You just need to start listening—and this book will show you how.
