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. But in the hardest moments, it’s easy to fall 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 free workshop, I’ll show you practical tools you can use right away to create more cooperation—and more peace in your home.
An invitation from Dr. Laura Markham:
This FREE Workshop is for you if:
✅ You want support to feel more confident and peaceful as a parent.
✅ You want to help your child WANT to cooperate, without yelling, bribes, threats or punishment.
✅ You just wish someone would give you the right words to say.
✅ You’ve read Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids or you follow Dr. Laura's newsletters, but you want more support to put the theory into practice.
✅ You know you could handle things better with your child, if you didn't get so angry.
✅ You want strategies for those moments when you’ve tried everything you can think of and you’re stuck.
✅ You want to yell less, connect more, and create happy memories.

“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.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:…
-
✅ How to stop yelling—without stuffing your feelings: Simple, proven ways to calm yourself and stay connected, even in stressful moments.
-
✅ How to help your child (and yourself) regulate emotions: What’s really going on under big feelings—and how to respond so things don’t escalate.
-
✅ How to build a closer, more cooperative relationship: Strengthen your bond so your child feels understood—and becomes more willing to listen.
-
✅ Practical tools you can use right away: Exactly what to say and do in those everyday moments that usually turn into power struggles.
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.

“My 6-year-old and I were in constant battles. I dreaded asking her to do anything. After this workshop, I tried the connection-first approach, and for the first time, she said ‘okay, Mom’ without an argument. It brought tears to my eyes.”"
— Leah S.
Dr. Laura's parenting advice completely changed my relationship with my daughter, improved her self-esteem, and transformed our lives. Providing my daughter with acknowledgement of her feelings and point of view reduced her oppositional behaviors and emotional meltdowns to nearly none.

“The biggest surprise for me? Realizing my child’s defiance wasn’t about disobedience — it was about connection. I’ve already seen my son soften instead of pushing back.”
— Carmen M.
