Helping Children with Fears When They Hear The News

“I receive Dr. Laura Markham's weekly emails. Every bit of advice she offers is relevant and realistic. Many parenting advice experts are impressive and great but it is practically impossible to follow through on their advice. She gives advice for real people who have jobs and busy lives.”

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. - Jodie Tokatlian

Dr. Laura, you have created miracles, large and small, in so many lives and our children thank you.

I love AhaParenting because there is always a "pick yourself up and try again" to it. - Chantal Harrison

"I just want to say that the advice about dealing with toddlers on this website is excellent. It is amazing how much my attitude changes my son's behavior. If I make an effort to empathize with him, he is so much more cooperative. It does take an effort -- after all, I have a lot to do and I don't always want to take the time. But I find it is worth it to avoid the tantrums and fussing. He is much better behaved now, and other people even comment on it."
