How to Be a Calm Parent: An Indispensable Guide to More Peaceful and Enjoyable Parenting

"This isn't a parenting advice book, it's a book about you. The words you read in this book, however, will have a far greater impact on your children than those contained in any parenting book you could read (and I count my own in that too)."

How many times have you asked yourself, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I stay calm?" So many of us want to follow a gentler, more positive style of parenting but feel we aren't naturally calm enough. We worry that something is wrong with us, that we're not good enough, and believe we are failing our children by not controlling our emotions adequately.

What we don't realize is that this describes almost every parent there ever was—and ever will be.

In her trademark gentle, supportive, and reassuring style, bestselling author Sarah Ockwell-Smith shows that while we all lose it at times, everyone can become a calmer parent. Based on her many years of experience working with parents, Sarah provides research, advice, and practical exercises that will set you on the path to calmer parenting, benefiting both you and your child.

The impact of your own upbringing on your parenting style
Balancing work and home life
Letting go of the quest for perfection
Ensuring your own basic needs are met
How to Be a Calm Parent is for any parent who knows they need to be calmer to raise well-adjusted, happy children but struggles with their own emotions and stress levels.
