Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings

How to Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Life

By: Laura Markham

Narrated by: Laura Markham

Popular parenting expert Dr. Laura Markham, author of PEACEFUL PARENTS, HAPPY SIBLINGS, has garnered a large and loyal readership around the world, thanks to her simple, insightful approach that values the emotional bond between parent and child. As any parent of more than one child knows, though, it’s challenging for even the most engaged parent to maintain harmony and a strong connection when competition, tempers, and irritation run high.

In this highly anticipated guide, Dr. Markham presents simple yet powerful ways to cut through the squabbling and foster a loving, supportive bond between siblings, while giving each child the vital connection that he or she needs.

PEACEFUL PARENT, HAPPY SIBLINGS includes hands-on, research-based advice on:

• Creating deep connections with each one of your children, so that each truly believes that you couldn’t possibly love anyone else more.

• Fostering a loving family culture that encourages laughter and minimizes fighting

• Teaching your children healthy emotional self-management and conflict resolution skills—so that they can work things out with each other, get their own needs met and respect the needs of others

• Helping your kids forge a close lifelong sibling bond—as well as the relationship skills they will need for a life of healthy friendships, work relationships, and eventually their own family bonds.

Best book on parenting ever

One of the best books you find out there when it comes to parenting and sibling rivalry. I’ve tested lots of the tips in this book , and they definitely work with my children.

Life changing!!!

This book is AMAZING!!! This literally changed my life & my family! I have followed Dr. Laura Markham for years, reading tons of her blog posts & emails. I definitely believed in her & her practices. But I had hit a rough patch with my 2 oldest (6 & 4), who have always been best friends & had a great relationship prior, since my 3rd child was 2 months old (he was 1 when I finally listened to this book). So I finally get the book. I had a lot of “aha” moments while listening- seeing things from my child’s perspective that I hadn’t thought of before. 1 month after starting listening (wasn’t even fully done with book yet), I get a call from my parents who watch my kids 1 day a week while we work. They are calling just to tell me how amazing my daughter (the middle child/4 yr old, one having the toughest time lately) was doing the last couple of weeks & that she was such a joy to be around because she was so happy & so kind to her brothers!!! Overall- my husband is happier, I am happier, there is very little (almost none!) fighting in our home & we have more time on our hands to enjoy our kids instead of referee them! Do not delay- get this book now!!! I have been telling all my friends about my “secret” (this book) too! Thank you Dr Markham!
