Dr. Laura Markham talks about how to do more than just discipline your teen

Episode 1862: Beyond Discipline for Teens by Dr. Laura Markham of Aha Parenting on Improving Your Relationship With Your Teenager

Dr. Laura Markham trained as a Clinical Psychologist at Columbia University, but she's also a mom, so she understands kids -- and parents! She uses her Ph.D. to translate proven science and child-development research into the practical solutions you need for the family life you want.

As the founding editor of AhaParenting.com, she makes frequent TV and radio appearances and has been interviewed for thousands of articles by publications as diverse as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Real Simple, Newsday, Men's Health, Redbook and Parents Magazine.

Dr. Laura's relationship-based parenting model, which she calls Peaceful Parenting, is research-based and parent-tested. She's helped thousands of families across the U.S. and Canada find transformative solutions to everything from separation anxiety and sleep problems to sass talk and cell phones. She lives in Brooklyn, New York and is the proud parent of two happy, kind, responsible and accomplished young adults who were raised with Peaceful Parenting.

Dr. Marni Feuerman, in collaboration with Gottman.com, offers a deep dive into the complexities of handling conflict in relationships, emphasizing that a significant portion of disputes are perpetual and unsolvable. Through "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" by Dr. John Gottman, Feuerman underscores the importance of managing rather than eliminating conflict, providing readers with practical blueprints for navigating the inevitable challenges that arise in partnerships, fostering understanding, growth, and a stronger bond.
