Before you had kids, you were probably quite sure that you'd be an Instagram-worthy parent. Your quality time with your kids would be spent reading, telling stories, playing fun games, and cuddling under cozy blankets. Everyone would be nice to each other and you would never raise your voice.

And then you had kids.

Yes, parenting has its magic moments, but there's also a dark side to it. There are games and bonding and adorable moments, but also tantrums, yelling at each other, and desperate attempts to keep everyone safe.

You try to create at least some kind of daily routine. You try to enforce at least a few rules. You try your best, but the kids just won't listen.

Guess what... if the kids won't listen, it's not their fault – they love you and really want to do their best! Maybe they're stressed, confused, or just unsure how to react to you.

So the solution is to talk to them differently (spoiler: differently does not mean louder) and to teach them stress relief techniques early on. That's it.

And this book will show you how.
