In her first book, Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids, Dr. Laura Markham helped millions of parents better understand their children and their own emotions, so they could parent in a more empathetic and emotionally connected way. Now, parents can take Dr. Markham’s simple yet transformative approach even deeper, with The Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids Workbook [PESI Publishing & Media, February 27, 2018]. In this personalized, interactive and practice-filled guide, Dr. Markham teaches practical and powerful tools that will help parents create a more peaceful, mindful and happier home.
“Peaceful parenting doesn’t mean that you’re perpetually blissed-out or disconnected from the messy reality of life with children,” says Dr. Markham. “Peaceful parenting simply means regulating your own emotions so that you don’t take them out on your child. Each child is different, but research studies generally agree on what children need to become healthy, happy, responsible kids who grow into healthy, happy, responsible adults. And it is not perfect parents. It’s a relationship with a parent who loves them and delights in them. A parent who really appreciates this individual child, who guides the child with emotional generosity, and who coaches the child to be his or her best self.”
