A groundbreaking guide to raising responsible, capable, happy kids Based on the latest research on brain development and extensive clinical experience with parents, Dr. Laura Markham's approach is as simple as it is effective. Her message: Fostering emotional connection with your child creates real and lasting change. When you have that vital connection, you don't need to threaten, nag, plead, bribe--or even punish. This remarkable guide will help parents better understand their own emotions--and get them in check--so they can 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 searching for the right "consequence," look no further. You're about to discover the practical tools you need to transform your parenting in a positive, proven way.
One of the very best parenting books Ive ever read. Backed by research and a deep understanding of child brain development. Every new parent should have the information in this book. It’s cycle breaking and life changing. I read it when my 10 year old was little and again recently after my third just reached her 1st birthday. I hope you read it and find ways to choose love with you babes.

This book is gold. It advocates for rational, kind, respectful parenting, with real-life examples and scenarios and scientifically proven solutions to everyday problems that parents face. I have 3 children (ages 8, 5, and 2) and it has helped me feel seen and heard just from reading it. I’ve implemented some of the advice and I’m already seeing a change in my relationship with my kids. Buy the book; you won’t regret it!
