We all want to be the best parents we can be for our children, and show up for them in ways that will positively nurture their development to grow into responsible, happy, and considerate kids. While many parenting books are inspiring, we can often feel left hanging a bit, and think “ok, but how do I implement that?” Enter Dr. Laura Markham
Dr. Laura is a clinical psychologist, mother, and founder of online resource Aha Parenting. She’s the best selling author of two books “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” and “Peaceful Parent Happy Siblings” inspiring parents every day with practical content to choose connection and coaching over punishment and control.
