Publisher's summary

Popular parenting blogger Rebecca Eanes believes that parenting advice should be about more than just getting kids to behave. Struggling to maintain a meaningful connection with her two little ones and frustrated by the lack of emotionally aware books for parents, she began to share her own insights online. Her following has grown into a thriving community - hundreds of thousands strong.

In this eagerly anticipated guide, Eanes shares her hard-won wisdom for overcoming limiting thought patterns and recognizing emotional triggers, as well as advice for connecting with kids at each stage, from infancy to adolescence. This heartfelt, insightful advice comes not from an "expert", but from a learning, evolving parent. Filled with practical, solution-oriented advice, this is an empowering guide for any parent who longs to end the yelling, power struggles, and downward spiral of acting out, punishment, resentment, and shame - and instead foster an emotional connection that helps kids learn self-discipline, feel confident, and create lasting, loving bonds.

Amazing book

I can't recommend this book enough. If you are on the fence GET IT NOW. The only negative thing I have to say is the narrator was very dry and robot-like. Made it hard to stay focused at times.

Just join the Facebook group. Don't buy the book.

What made the experience of listening to Positive Parenting the most enjoyable?

There are some good tips and reminders to enjoy this "longest shortest time" with your toddler and give them some slack. I am also a member of the Facebook group and all of this information is there.

What didn’t you like about Callie Beaulieu’s performance?

Siri would have done a better job reading this. Callie sounds like a computer robot and I can't stand listening to her read this. HORRIBLE.

Possible solution for narration

I am only beginnings chapter 3 but find it very insightful.

While the narration does sound slightly robotic, I found slowing it down to 85 or 90 really helps.

A must for all parents out there

What a beautiful perspective this book has given me, I especially loved all the practical examples of positive parenting. I feel like this is a book to read (or listen) over and over as my children grow.
I would recommend this book honestly to all parents, if we all applied even some of these tips in our parenting then the world will for sure be a better place.

Every parent needs to read this book!

My heart resonates so deeply with the wisdom in this book. As a new parent it can be so hard and confusing navigating how to discipline our child... Do we do what we experienced, what other people suggest, or listen to our inner voice? This book resonates with my inner voice and I am so thankful to have it put into words, examples, and child development facts! Every parent needs to go through this book.
