Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids by Laura Markham

Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start ConnectingPeaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting by Laura Markham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this as part of Dr. Laura's parenting class. She really knows what she is talking about and when I succeed at putting her advice into practice, everything is better at my house. I still have a long way to go to manage my anger well, but this has definitely helped.

The most interesting parts to me were the specifics of how they transitioned as a couple from "domestic goddess" and stereotypical husband to partners. The details of the spreadsheet and the real release of responsibility were fascinating. I also really enjoyed her description of using questions to test if something met their values.

It was longer than it needed to be for me, but I didn't need to be sold on the value of husbands fully participating as equal partners in the home.
