Calm Parents, Happy Kids by Dr Laura Markham offers her three step approach to make parenting less stressful and everyone in the family calmer, relaxed and more confident.
Many of the ideas are not new or revolutionary but Calm Parents, Happy Kids is well written in an easily accessible way that parents can dip into as and when required.

The last section is the longest. Each chapter has well signposted areas of parenting that may concern you such as "How to Manage your Anger" and "Setting Limits with Empathy".

There are also some "guided conversations" that a British audience might be less comfortable with.
However this is a worthy addition to the huge array of parenting books available and is a lot better than many.
