About this listen

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.

I like the theory. I don't know if I'm a bit naive about all this process but... yes, always love.

The book gives lots of details and examples, I just regret that it's read very quickly. These kind of books should be read more calmly, in order to give us time to assimilate it properly.

Loving parenting

I've read over 30 parenting books now and this is definitely one of the best I highly recommend you read this book write down notes and basically do everything then it says most of the things thankfully I'm already doing thanks to the overlap of the other 30 books I've read for the word many in this this book that I would argue with!
