A Letter from Your Child: What Every Parent Needs to Hear but Never Thought to Ask: Practical Strategies to Stop Yelling, Build Strong Connections, and Raise Emotionally Healthy Kids

What if you could truly understand what your child needs—not just their words, but their heart? A Letter from Your Child is your guide to replacing chaos with calm, building trust, and raising kids who feel loved, confident, and connected to you.

Inside, You’ll Learn:

  • Why your child’s misbehavior is a cry for understanding—and how to respond with love instead of frustration.
  • How to set fair boundaries, use gentle discipline, and stop yelling for good.
  • The power of play, promises, and quality time to strengthen your bond and bring joy back into parenting.

Why This Book is Different:

Unlike traditional parenting guides, this book speaks from your child’s perspective—revealing what they wish you knew about their needs and emotions. Combining heartfelt insights with practical strategies, A Letter from Your Child isn’t about being the perfect parent; it’s about creating the kind of relationship every child craves.

Packed with real-life stories, actionable advice, and tools you can start using today, this book is your roadmap to a happier, more connected home.

Stop guessing. Start listening. Your child doesn’t need perfection—they just need you.

Helped Me Hear What I Was Missing

This made me take a hard look at the way I’ve been communicating with my kids. It’s easy to think we’re doing our best, but sometimes we’re not really listening. What stood out was how it got me to slow down, rethink my tone, and actually connect. It gave me tools I could use right away—nothing overcomplicated. Just real, useful stuff that’s already making a difference at home.

Highly Effective!

This book is a game-changer! The fact that it is written from the child's perspective sheds much light on the issues we face as parents. Putting ourselves in our child's place before reacting to either misbehavior, defiance or just plain moodyness is the key to understanding our children better.

A Great Parenting Perspective

This book hit me in a way I wasn’t expecting. It felt like stepping into my kid’s shoes and finally seeing things from their side. I didn’t realize how much of my “corrections” came across as criticism until I read this. The tone is gentle but eye-opening, and the strategies are actually doable—even on hectic days. If you’re trying to be more present and patient as a parent, this one’s worth a read.

Learned something

I recently listened to this and it hit me right in the heart as a mom of two young kids. The practical strategies, like pausing to connect before correcting behavior, were game-changers; I tried the "name the feeling" technique, and it actually calmed a meltdown mid-grocery store! The focus on building emotional health without yelling resonated deeply, especially since I’ve been trying to break that habit myself. This audiobook gave me tools to strengthen my bond with my kids while helping them grow into confident, kind people—highly recommend for any parent feeling overwhelmed but hopeful.

Eye-Opening and Incredibly Helpful

This book gave me a fresh perspective on how my child might be feeling, and it made me reflect on how I communicate as a parent. I never realized how certain reactions could be affecting my child’s emotions. The strategies are practical and easy to implement, and I’ve already noticed a shift in our interactions. I feel like I’m connecting with my child in a way I hadn’t before. If you want to build a stronger, more understanding relationship with your kid, this book is definitely worth reading.
