About this listen
Discipline is an essential part of raising happy and successful kids, but as more and more parents are discovering, conventional approaches often don't work and can even lead to more frustration, resentment, power struggles, and shame.
Enter Sarah Ockwell-Smith, a popular parenting expert who believes there's a better way. Citing the latest research in child development, psychology, and neuroscience, Gentle Discipline debunks common myths about punishments, rewards, the "naughty chair", and more and presents practical, connection-based techniques that really work - and that bring parents and kids closer together instead of driving them apart. Topics include:
- Setting - and enforcing - boundaries and limits with compassion and respect
- Focusing on connection and positivity instead of negative consequences
- Working with teachers and other caregivers
- Breaking the cycle of shaming and blaming
Filled with ideas to try today, Gentle Discipline helps parents of toddlers as well as school-age kids embrace a new, more enlightened way to help kids listen, learn, and grow.

We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. To raise a happy child that wants to behave, you need to retrain yourself first. You need to change the way you think and react to their behavior. You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

Story
Today, burnout and depression are at record levels, driven by a combination of intense workplace competition, oppressively ubiquitous social media encouraging comparisons with others, the quest for elite credentials, and helicopter parenting. Society continually broadcasts the need to want more, and to be perfect. Gathering a wide range of contemporary evidence, Curran calls for both introspection and broader, societal change. He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect, and in so doing, win for ourselves a more purposeful and contented life.

Story
School taught us specific subjects, like maths and history. But the most important situations we face as adults were never discussed with us when we were students. We weren't taught these skills in school, and this makes all the success stories we hear about seem out of reach; it makes us feel dumb. We aren't dumb, we just don't know how to work the system.

The average person has 70,000 thoughts every day, and many of those thoughts trigger a corresponding emotion. No wonder so many of us often feel like we're controlled by our emotions. Our lives would be much improved is we controlled them. Joyce Meyer discusses the way that the brain processes and stores memories and thoughts, and then - emotion by emotion - she explains how we can manage our reactions to those emotions.

Insights—like Darwin's understanding of the way evolution actually works, and Watson and Crick's breakthrough discoveries about the structure of DNA-can change the world. We also need insights into the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us so that we can more effectively solve problems and get things done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formed—or what blocks them. In Seeing What Others Don't, renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein unravels the mystery.

The most helpful parenting book
I became a parent in 2019 and I wanted to do my best at it. Sarah has helped so much about understanding children and understanding that we need to look within first before reacting too quick with anger or frustration towards our children. I feel like all her advice has helped us be more chill with our child and I do see the difference between our children and others children. I’ve recommended this book to so many people I’ve lost count. read it! It’s genius!

Phenomenal resource
I’m a dad of 2 boys, with the older one being more strong willed and aggressive, while the younger one is easy going. Gained a ton of insight and strategy on how to work with the emotion that causes unwanted behavior without yelling or spanking(I’ve done both and neither have worked long term). I was spanked as a kid and it rotted my self esteem for decades. This book is helping me break that cycle. I’ve listened to this book 5 times and I get new ideas and insights every time.

Great book for parents
I loved this book. It has changed my whole perspective in parenthood. It has opened my eyes in parenting that I have never imagined. I am glad my wife suggested this book to me, and even though it took some time for me to get to it, I hope it will pay off.

Great overview of this discipline technique
The narrator sounds a little overly earnest, but the author has great ideas along with lots of evidence to demonstrate a different way of parenting that makes a lot of sense.

Struggled to finish
I could no longer listen to her belief that children are not capable of anything. After all of her babbling of how wrong every one is, I still don't know if I can expect my child to clean her room when she is 5 or 15???
Give some real life examples that actually help instead of only pointing out what victims children are. Waste of time!
