Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids with Dr. Laura Markham | How to connect with our children & build a strong bond instead of struggle for control

Listen Later

We all want to be the best parents we can be for our children, and show up for them in ways that will positively nurture their development to grow into responsible, happy, and considerate kids. While many parenting books are inspiring, we can often feel left hanging a bit, and think “ok, but how do I implement that?” Enter Dr. Laura Markham

Dr. Laura is a clinical psychologist, mother, and founder of online resource Aha Parenting. She’s the best selling author of two books, “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” and “Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings,” inspiring parents every day with practical information and key examples in common parenting situations to choose connection and coaching over punishment and control. 

In this episode we cover:

  • The foundational principles for a peaceful home & raising happy, considerate, and responsible kids
  • Does gentle and respectful parenting create weak and entitled children?
  • What’s wrong with strict parenting?
  • How to connect with our children to build a stronger, sweeter bond instead of struggling for control
  • Specific examples on how to respond in tough moments with kids
  • What is the source for sibling rivalry?
  • How to stop the fighting and raise friends for life
  • Does respectful parenting take more time and effort?
  • The secrets every parent needs to know about saying “no”
