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.

Critic Reviews

Calm Parents, Happy Kids will transform your experience of parenting. Relying on a combination of up-to-the-minute brain science and the kind of practical wisdom so often missing from parenting books, Dr Laura tells you not only the ‘why’ of children’s behaviour but also ‘how’ to have calm parents and happy kids.

Very nice and practical advice. The examples shared really hit hard and you realise and understand what you should do vs not as a parent.

Great book definitely worth a read

Downloading and listening to this book is the best thing I believe I have done for myself this year. The reader's voice was to me like a relaxing balm for the soul. I am ready to be honest with myself, confront my unresolved issues and to evolve and do whatever it takes to ensure my boys turn out better than me. I find it uncanny the way the author cuts through all the buzz and gets to the core of a very real human issue. I'm just grateful to life to have brought me to this point.

Thank You

Being indian, the knowledge of raising kids is always learnt from our parents and other elders in family. For every small issue we call our parents and inlaws and they always have a solution.

However, today's urban families are posed with different set of challenges. Both parents are typically working, kids have to spend some time at day care centres. And usually their grandparents are staying in some village rather than with them. Parents are tired at the end of the day and have left very less patience.

This books comes as a life saver in this context. It helps us understand how to behave so our children would too. Parenting goes beyond discipline and this book tells us how being calm helps us in long term.

Good advise

This is the first time I have completed a Parenting book without leaving it half read because it completely resonates practically with all parents.
There are no impractical mantras or messages that you have to execute.
Its just simple, meaningful reflection on behavior and consequence.
Completely recommend it for all parents who want to create a difference in their child's life.

What an amazing Book!
