Summary of Dr. Laura Markham's Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There are many answers to how to raise a happy, responsible, and considerate child. The first is to respond with warm, respectful attunement to the needs of your individual child, and set limits supportively and coach your child’s emotions constructively.

#2 Your child will delight and exasperate you, thrill and annoy you. But by accident, your child will ask you to grow. If you can notice when you’re triggered and restore yourself to equilibrium before you take action, you can raise happy, emotionally healthy children who are successful in every sense.

#3 The first responsibility of parenting is to be mindful of your own inner state. This means that you pay attention to what you’re feeling, but don’t act on it. Anger is a part of all relationships, and acting on it mindlessly with words or actions compromises your parenting.

#4 Parents should be aware of the areas in which they were wounded as children, and make sure to heal those wounds in order to become the best parents they can be.
