PEACEFUL PARENT, HAPPY KIDS

Laura Markham

How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting

A groundbreaking common-sense approach to raising calm, confident, and capable kids.

Most parenting books focus on changing a child’s behavior, but the truth is that children change only when their relationship with their parents changes. When parents develop an empathic understanding that allows them to see things from the child’s perspective, real change can take place for the good.

Bringing together the latest research in brain development with a focus on emotional awareness (for both parents and children), this approach eliminates threats, power struggles, and manipulation, in favor of setting limits, with empathy and communication. In Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids readers are given step-by-step guides and practical tools to transform their parenting in a positive, proven way.

Dr. Laura Markham is a clinical psychologist specializing in child development and parenting. She has developed a strong platform online and on network TV. She is the founder of AhaParenting.com. She writes for various parenting websites and runs a private family practice. She lives in New York City with her husband and their two teenage children.
