Have only read a little but I'm already calmer, stepping back from situations and if it's not an emergency, not getting cross with my daughter for not 'hurrying up' or doing whatever.
She is responding well and making less fuss generally when I'm asking her to put coat on or get dressed. She might say no to start with but because I don't get wound up she comes round quickly to do it, with encouragement.

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.

Definitely highly Recommend.

I have recommended this book now to so many of my friends. I’ve read so many self help books for parenting so honestly I wasn’t expecting much new in here. Nonetheless I wanted to hit reset as we had gotten into a negative cycle and I felt like nothing was working. This one is an easy straight forward read and it does have a different helpful take and actual practical techniques to use that work. I did skip over some of the beginning to get to the good bits and they are really workable and valuable. Bottom line I hardly ever shout now and my 14 year old and 4 year old seem so much happier. 4 year old used to be so defiant and he’s so much more compliant now and hardly ever tantrums. I feel we’re deeply connected again it’s lovely.

Look let's face it parenting is hard, just finding time to read this is hard... But worth it. Some of the advice is just common sense but the way it's laid out and presented really makes you think. Honestly does make you consider how you parent and you will probably pick something positive from this. It's not hippy dippy stuff, worth a try try if your struggling

This book has changed our family dynamic completely. It's only been two weeks and already I can see a difference in my children and feel so much better about parenting. It is easy to read, simple to follow and so amazing to see the results.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!

heal yourself, love your kids, no discipline, no yelling. FOR FRICKING GODS SAKE!!!! This is the real world, not a place where a woman sits around at home with nothing else to do than "engage" their kids with "compassion." Please, don't feed me this stuff from a person who obviously sits at home all day and writes three pages of her new book from 9 to 10 a.m. and then has the rest of the day off…. avoid, avoid, avoid.
