About this listen

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.

What a change we saw in all three of our kids when we became intentional about connecting and not yelling. Laura gives such practical advice and gives hope when all seems lost for a peaceful home. Our 3,6,9 year olds are so much positive and look forward to our special times together.

I often find titbits of valuable advice in self help books but nothing as ground breaking as this. The ideas and advice has really changed how I think and act towards my children. It gave me my children's perspective of negativity, scolding and punishment. I have come to realise that I too suffer from generations of anger and bad parenting habits, and I hope I can now change this cycle for my children.

Life changing!

When I was quite new at parenting, I wish there was a guide that I can learn and practice worda by words. I read other parenting books, went to workshops, and even had a counsellor who was practicing mindfullness. They couldn't answer my questions: how can I stop threatening my child? how can I raise my child in a calm environment? how can I stop yelling at my child which it only works for the moment? how can I make my child confident? does reward and decipline work? this book had all the answers to that and resources to practice. The reader's voice was very reassuring and making me focus on the book. I'll be listening to this book many more times and all of the author's other books.

best parenting advice with great examples!

If you're considering an AP approach to parenting and you want to understand how and why the approach works, as well as how to model your day to day interactions with your child with the principals in mind, I consider this book a must read. The advice is easy to follow and really helped me wrap my mind around effective discipline that promotes healthy development, respect, and love.

A gentle parenting MUST READ
