What Parents Really Want: Cooperation without Punishment (Markham HS 095958)

Course overview

Clients challenged by their children often resort to old-fashioned reward and threat strategies like timeouts, sticker charts, and consequences. But the best parenting tool is always the relationship with, not control over, the child. By emphasizing parental self-regulation, strengthening parent-child connection, and welcoming emotions while setting limits, the Peaceful Parenting approach offers hope for parents who don't want to punish but don't know what else to do.
