A groundbreaking guide to raising responsible, capable, happy kids
Based on the contemporary research on brain development and extensive clinical experience with parents, Dr. Laura Markham’s approach is so simple as it is effective. Her message: Fostering emotional connection with your child creates real and lasting change. When you’ve got that vital connection, you don’t wish to threaten, nag, plead, bribe—or even punish.
This remarkable guide will help parents better remember their own emotions—and get them in check—so they are able to 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 in search of the right “consequence,” look no further. You’re about to discover the practical tools you want to grow to be your parenting in a positive, proven way.
