Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting

Written by Dr. Laura Markham

Narrated by Xe Sands

Based on the latest research on brain development and extensive clinical experience with parents, Dr. Laura Markham's approach is as simple as it is effective. Her message: fostering emotional connection with your child creates real and lasting change. When you have that vital connection, you don't need to threaten, nag, plead, bribe—or even punish.



This remarkable guide will help parents better understand their own emotions—and get them in check—so they can parent with healthy limits, empathy, and clear communication to raise a self-disciplined child. Step-by-step examples give solutions and kid-tested phrasing for parents of toddlers right through the elementary years.



If you're tired of power struggles, tantrums, and searching for the right "consequence," look no further. You're about to discover the practical tools you need to transform your parenting in a positive, proven way.

This has been the first audiobook that I’ve heard, that makes me want to buy a physical copy. So much good information that I want to apply with my 3year old

If you like "the whole child brain", you will love this book. It's packed with strategies and example of parenting in different ages as well as explains what goes on your child's brain. Highly recommended

[Chevy P · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It gave me a better perspective and reinforcement of the fact that children are children and that's important to remember. It helped give insight to new ways of approaching situations vs just punishment etc. Remember, it's a marathon, not a race.

This is full of great insights into how to respectfully parent your kids and set safe and loving boundaries. Positive parenting is not permissive parenting. A must read for all adults regardless of family situation!

Life-changing! I've searched for this type of advice for years. The best parenting strategies I've ever come across. Having a strong connection with your child should be the ultimate goal for parents and this book describes the tools to use to get that in a logical down-to-earth manner. Would love to give it as a gift to all parents. Thank you Laura Markham for sharing this and making a real difference in so many lives.

Great book however as much as it's helped me, these sorts of books always produce an anxiety that I'm just not doing enough, doing it right, and am going to fuck up my daughter.
Lots of great tips in there on how to de-escalate problems.
