We need a practical parenting guide to help us calm down and raise able and happy kids. This book is one such recipe for successful parenting. Laura Markham is a psychologist with extensive experience in parenting who has published hundreds of parenting articles and provided parenting guidance to countless families.
Unlike the vast majority of parenting books, Dr. Laura does not focus on how to correct a child's behavior here. She instead helps parents adjust their own emotions and establish a deep connection with their child through three concepts: regulating yourself, fostering connection and coaching instead of controlling. Parents can then raise great kids by emotion coaching, teaching emotional behavior, and mastery coaching rather than exerting control.
