How to Help Your Child WANT to Cooperate
Without Yelling, Threats, Bribes, or Punishment
Every parent longs for more cooperation and connection with their child. Yet when challenges arise, it’s easy to slip into repeating ourselves, nagging, or yelling—and then feeling regret. The truth is, children do want to cooperate, when they feel safe, connected, and understood. In this workshop, you’ll learn practical tools that strengthen your bond and help daily life flow more peacefully.

“Dr. Laura completely shifted the way I see my son’s behavior. I left the workshop with tools I could start using right away. I can’t wait to keep trying her approach. This is what respectful parenting looks like, and it’s such a good reminder that our kids are little people too!”
— Emily T.
"Honestly, I was skeptical. But I tried one strategy from the workshop yesterday and noticed bedtime was actually smoother!"

Hi, I'm Dr. Laura Markham,
And I've helped tens of thousands of parents create a more peaceful home while enjoying their children. By teaching them effective strategies to handle big emotions, foster strong connections, and guide their children with empathy, I empower parents to transform their family dynamics.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience, but I’m also a mom of two grown kids—so I understand both kids and parents. As the author of three best-selling books, translated into 25 languages, I’ve spent decades translating the latest child-development research into practical, science-backed strategies to help families thrive.
And I’m here to support you every step of the way on your peaceful parenting journey.

❌ Yelling at your child and then feeling guilt and shame afterward?
❌ Struggling to get your child to cooperate without resorting to threats, consequences or bribes?

❌ Walking on eggshells to avoid your child's blow-ups?
❌ Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from your child's big emotions?

The Three Big Ideas of Peaceful Parenting
Calm
Kids learn to manage emotions when parents model it. You’ll get a clear blueprint for self‑regulation and the self‑care that makes it possible.
Connect
From tantrums to texting, a close relationship is the secret of happy parenting. Without connection, we have little influence—and parenting gets exhausting.
Coach
Coach instead of control so your child WANTS to cooperate. Set firm limits with empathy and respect, and you’ll see more willing compliance.
