"The Aha! moment in Dr. Laura Markham's Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids
is that attachment isn't just for babies. Attachment provides the
foundation for the growing child to learn emotional intelligence,
empathy, and responsibility while he masters his environment. Dr.
Laura teaches by example, holding parents with compassion as she
gives them priceless, easy to use strategies to create a secure,
healthy attachment with their child.”

International, and authors of Attached at the Heart

yet revolutionary, message of love."

“Peaceful Parents, Happy Kids has two important ideas, and one
revolutionary idea. Dr. Laura Markham’s guidance on fostering
connection and coaching instead of controlling are the important
ideas, and they can make a huge difference in your life as a
parent. Her explanation of why parents need to regulate
ourselves first—before we can help regulate our children--is the
revolutionary idea. Read it and you’ll see why she calls her
work ‘Aha! Parenting.’” —Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD,
author of Playful Parenting

“A much-needed resource for parents….encouragement and actionable,
doable, advice for parents to strengthen their connection with
their children, and take care of themselves. Clearly helps parents
to see how what they are doing today impacts and influences what
happens tomorrow, yet the tone is gentle and non-judgmental. Such a
user-friendly format for (often) weary parents.”
—Lisa Sunbury, RegardingBaby.org

Laura Markham’s compassion, wisdom, common sense, love and
understanding radiates in each carefully chosen word, example and
suggestion throughout this well-written, easy-to-read, delicious
book on peaceful parenting. From her chapter on effectively
managing anger, ‘Listen to your anger, rather than act on it,’ to
my favorite quote, ‘Your child is acting like a child because he is
one,’ you’ll know you’ve found your parenting bible. Thank
you, Dr.
Markham.”
