Publisher's Summary
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.

Recommend this book for everyone!
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.

My favourite author and book on parenting
Every point and idea resonated with me and has helped me become a better and calm parent with higher EQ. It helped me reflect on my own childhood (authoritarian leading to chronic anxiety), and understand and correct my ideas on parenting (lacking adequate limit setting as I was trying to avoid my parents’ overly controlling style) and even clarified healthy relationships. One view that has become very clear to me thanks to the book is that all forms of punishment is just bad. I strongly feel no one should be punishing another even if it’s just emotionally regardless of the type of relationship (parent/spouse etc).
