Laura Markham
About this listen
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.

Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them. Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn’t work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans.

Does watching your child lose their temper feel like looking into a mirror? Your children look to you for everything; from lunch money and homework help, to impulse control and emotional regulation. You are the model by which they set their standards. So, when it comes to anger management, are you demonstrating model behavior? If the answer is "no", you’re not alone. Even parents need help learning how to control our emotional responses, especially when it comes to feeling frustrated with our offspring.

Story
Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction—for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested until Hold On to Your Kids.

We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. To raise a happy child that wants to behave, you need to retrain yourself first. You need to change the way you think and react to their behavior. You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

Story
When facing contentious issues such as screen time, food choices, and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times best-selling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative. They’re better at relationships and handling adversity.

Revolutionizes how to parent
What a change we saw in all three of our kids when we became intentional about connecting and not yelling. Laura gives such practical advice and gives hope when all seems lost for a peaceful home. Our 3,6,9 year olds are so much positive and look forward to our special times together.

best parenting advice with great examples!
When I was quite new at parenting, I wish there was a guide that I can learn and practice worda by words. I read other parenting books, went to workshops, and even had a counsellor who was practicing mindfullness. They couldn't answer my questions: how can I stop threatening my child? how can I raise my child in a calm environment? how can I stop yelling at my child which it only works for the moment? how can I make my child confident? does reward and decipline work? this book had all the answers to that and resources to practice. The reader's voice was very reassuring and making me focus on the book. I'll be listening to this book many more times and all of the author's other books.

Life changing!
I often find titbits of valuable advice in self help books but nothing as ground breaking as this. The ideas and advice has really changed how I think and act towards my children. It gave me my children's perspective of negativity, scolding and punishment. I have come to realise that I too suffer from generations of anger and bad parenting habits, and I hope I can now change this cycle for my children.

A gentle parenting MUST READ
If you're considering an AP approach to parenting and you want to understand how and why the approach works, as well as how to model your day to day interactions with your child with the principals in mind, I consider this book a must read. The advice is easy to follow and really helped me wrap my mind around effective discipline that promotes healthy development, respect, and love.
