Publisher's summary

Parenting is not about kids; it's about parents. If you're not in control, then you cannot be in charge. What every kid really needs are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what. Easier said than done? Not anymore, thanks to ScreamFree Parenting, the principle-based approach that's inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their family dynamics. Moving beyond the child-centered, technique-based approaches that ultimately fail, the ScreamFree way compels you to focus on yourself, calm yourself down, and grow yourself up.

For those of you who are parents, know parents, or have had parents, the notion that the greatest thing you can do for your children is to learn to focus on yourself may sound strange, even heretical. It's not. Here's why: We are the only ones we can control. This practical, effective guide for parents of all ages with kids of all ages introduces proven principles for overcoming the anxieties and stresses of parenting and setting new patterns of connection and cooperation. Told in an engaging, conversational tone, this audiobook is sensible, straightforward, and based on the experiences of hundreds of actual families. It will help all parents become calming authorities in their homes, bring peace to their families today, and give kids what they need to grow into caring, self-directed adults tomorrow.

I was blown away by this book.

Would you listen to ScreamFree Parenting again? Why?

Yes, because there is so much good information, I probably need to listen three or four more times to get it all. I will have a notebook handy next time.

What did you like best about this story?

The book deals with issues most parents face on a daily basis, and I was really looking for something to give me some kind of guidance on parenting. This is the best book I've found because it doesn't just give tips or suggest methods; it really gets to the root of the issues parents deal with and explains the source of much of the behavior we want help with.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think the chapter on consequences was the most helpful, but also the most difficult to put into practice! But the author actually warns that it's difficult, and emphasizes the importance of sticking to your consequences anyway.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from ScreamFree Parenting?

Hopefully all of it.

A lot of it almost feels like common sense and didn’t seem to teach all that much

It wasn’t a bad read but wasn’t all that momentous in teaching. I did enjoy listening for the most part
