What if your child’s toughest moments — tantrums, meltdowns, refusals to listen — could actually bring you closer together?

I know how frustrating and annoying it feels when your child Just. Won’t. Listen. You ask nicely. You ask again. Your patience runs out… and suddenly you’re yelling.

I’ve been there — that sinking feeling in your stomach afterwards, wondering: “Why did I lose it again? Am I messing this up? Am I a bad parent?”

But here’s something I discovered after interviewing dozens of parenting experts:
the moments that feel the hardest aren’t failures — they can be the best opportunities to create a strong bond with your child… if you know how to handle them differently.

That’s why I created this free guide...

I wanted to know how I could get my kids to listen, without yelling, threats, or frustrations. To find answers that really work, I reached out to 23 of the world’s leading parenting experts — bestselling authors, child psychologists, educators, and coaches — and I asked each of them the same simple question:

“What is your favorite technique or strategy that is really working well for you or your clients, to help kids listen and cooperate?”

Their answers blew me away. And to make it easier for you to actually USE this wisdom, I added quick Action Steps to each one — so you’ll always know exactly what to do next.

• How to solve problems with kids instead of just trying to fix their behavior (Dr. Ross Greene, author of The Explosive Child)

• How to understand your child's preferred communication style, and how to talk to them in a way that makes it much more likely that they will hear you and listen to you (Heather Lindsay, author of My Big Emotions).

• What to do instead of threats or consequences to get your child to cooperate (Dr. Chelsey Hauge-Zavaleta, educational neuroscientist)

• A playful trick that melts power struggles in seconds (Julie King, co‑author of How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen) — this simple technique works extremely well for young kids, and you can start using it right away.

• How to parent smarter, not harder using "Golden Time" (Tia Slightham, parenting coach and teacher)

• How to use the “C.A.L.M. Technique” to turn your language and words into “medicine” that calms your child and helps them cooperate (Jennifer Kolari, child and family therapist, founder of Connected Parenting)

• How to identify the Nature of your child...and how understanding the nature of your child can help you to motivate them and prevent clashes and fights (Jessie Buttons, international nanny and parenting coach)

• ✅ 23 different experts’ #1 favorite strategies — each with Action Steps so you’re never left wondering: “Okay, but what do I actually do?”

“There are so many great tips from child behaviour experts in this book, I can actually not believe it’s free. My preschooler keeps me on my toes, but I’ve used some of the strategies and found them really useful. Things that would not have occurred to me if I didn’t read this. The book gave me fresh perspective and extra courage. Every parent should read it.”
M. van der Westhuizen, Netherlands

“Sue and Matt have put together a fantastic collection of interviews with parenting experts who share a range of practical strategies to help with everyday challenges. I particularly like the real scenarios with their own children to illustrate. The outcome of using these tools can only enhance the respect and connection we have with our kids.”
D. Kuoch, New Zealand
