Tired of yelling and nagging? True family connection is possible–and this essential guide shows us how.

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.

–Tracy Cutchlow, author of Zero to Five
 
“In our always connected world of social media and Google searches there is a never-ending flow of “new and better” parenting information. It’s easy to get lost in the sea of “best practices.” The focus is often on changing kids’ behavior or all the reasons you are ruining your kids. The problem is that so much of what we read seems to conflict and leaves us feeling powerless rather than truly supporting parents and families. Rebecca’s new book Positive Parenting emphasizes that parenting is far more than simply making kids comply. It’s about real lives, relationships, and people; It’s about real moms’, dads’ and kids’ stories and how to make those stories incredible. This book gives the reader timeless, foundational principles and practices that help to build the parent, the child and the family as a whole from the inside out.”
–Andy Smithson, www.truparenting.net
  
“Positive Parenting beautifully illustrates the choices that modern-day parents have to raise healthy and successful children through nurturing, empathetic relationships. Bolstered by research in neuroscience and human development, Eanes shows how parents must grow alongside their children, and how this parallel journey helps young people reach their full potential. This is a must-read book for all who care enough about their children to reflect deeply on themselves as parents.”
–Marilyn Price-Mitchell, PhD, Author of Tomorrow’s Change Makers
 
“In this one-of-a-kind book, Rebecca Eanes goes beyond just discipline to look at the big picture of parenting. If you’re longing for more in your parenting journey — more joy, more peace, more cooperation — I recommend Positive Parenting!” 
–Jessica Alexander, co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting
