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.

sticky

it isn't anything new necessarily, but I have found that ideas as described and the examples used to illustrate provide a lot of comfort and support for a dad on the "firing line" (scratch that) for a dad with an incredible opportunity to focus on myself!

best parenting book ever

I'm super excited the book is finally in an audio book. I use to read the book when I was much younger. But I can never find the time to read the paper back now. So this is amazing

Awesome book!

Awesome book. Very helpful when it comes to dealing with our own emotions. Helped me to change how I look and deal with my relationship with my child.

well said

after listening to this book you come to realize you're not crazy and it's okay

great insights

great insights for parenting.

Great book

This book changed my mind about parenting to my kids, I’m going to buy the book read it again.
I think need to read again and again until you get what is you really need to do for your self.

Best parenting book ever

I have four kids now age 13 and under. I’ve bought numerous parenting books but they were either too hard to listen to, too aloof or too scientific. I love how Hal, in his own voice, shared his own personal experiences in parenting and he validates my experiences as a parent. But also isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and tell the hard truths and give useful tools for helping me parent my kids. Especially since I grew up in a fear-based discipline structure I want to change that with my own kids so it’s hard to navigate that on my own. The most helpful advice he gave that I remember and use all the time is “let the consequences do the yelling”!!!!! Thank you Hal! Can’t wait to listen to another book of yours.

Great Book!!

As a father of two boys 6 and 4, I can tell you this book has very practical advice for parents of children of all ages from kids to teenagers.
It's one of the best books about parentig I've read and I can tell you the concepts work and are esay to apply.

Loved it! Helpful for all relationships!

This book has transformed the way I look at parenting. It has helped me identify the things I was doing to cause problems in the parent child relationship and to look at the problems as a growth opportunity and a chance to grow closer. It also had helped me to understand that being emotional reactive is damaging to relationships and to help me get that under control.
