"This website is gold!! Just what I needed. None of the other methods of "disciplining" were working for us. These articles are really helping me understand what my son needs. And the way you give specific actions to take, with suggested words!! I often find myself thinking when reading about parenting “But how exactly do I implement that?” I feel like I’m left hanging. This website does not leave me hanging. Thank you!! We all want to be awesome parents we justdon’t know how. "
- LISA RYDER

"Yours is the best advice I’ve found so far on what to do when you, the parent, are angry. Most say something like, “Deal positively with your anger!” which makes me say, “Like HOW?”" " - RACHEL AT MILKBREATH AND ME Read more parent comments WHAT IS AHA! PARENTING? What is Aha! Parenting? You know what an Aha! Moment is, right? With our child, it’s that lightning flash of insight, when suddenly we see things from another perspective, and everything has the potential to be different. This website has Aha! moments for parents of every age child, from pregnancy right through the teen years. Dr. Laura Markham, the founder of Aha! Parenting, trained as a Clinical Psychologist at Columbia University -- but she’s also a mom, so she understands kids -- and how tough it is to be a parent. Learn more about Dr. Laura Markham HEAR FROM DR. LAURA MARKHAM THREE SIMPLE BIG IDEAS:1
REGULATING OUR EMOTIONS AS PARENTS Our most important responsibility as parents is regulating our own emotions, which is essential for our children to learn to manage themselves. That’s why Dr. Laura’s free coaching emails often focus on how to take better care of ourselves.2
CONNECTING WITH YOUR CHILD From tantrums to texting, the secret of happy parenting is a close relationship with your child. Without that connection, we have little influence (”My kids won’t listen!”) and parenting becomesexhausting.

COACH INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING Coach, instead of trying to control, so your child WANTS to cooperate with you. Sure, you need to set limits--but if you set them with empathy and respect, you’ll find your child is much more likely tocomply.
