Most parenting books focus on changing a child's behaviour, but the truth is that children change only when their relationship with their parents changes. When parents develop an empathic understanding that allows them to see things from the child's perspective, real change can take place for the good. Bringing together the latest research in brain development with a focus on emotional awareness (for both parents and children), this approach eliminates threats, power struggles and manipulation, in favour of setting limits, with empathy and communication. In PEACEFUL PARENT, HAPPY KIDS readers are given step-by-step guides and practical tools to transform their parenting in a positive, proven way.
