About this audiobook

A no-judgment, simple-to-follow step-by-step parenting guide to help you manage your emotions, meet your child’s needs with empathy, and create a calmer home—without ever resorting to threats or punishment

Every parent has had that painful moment they realize there must be a better way to raise kids than the old-school yelling, threats, bribes, and punishment way.

For Jon Fogel, that realization set him on a path toward wholeness: understanding himself, learning about the brain, and empowering parents to raise kids who live physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy lives. In just a few short years, he became an inspiration to more than a million people around the world who were also striving to do better and become the best parents they can be.

Now, with Punishment-Free Parenting, Fogel—parenting educator, pastor, and father of four—brings to parents the hard-won wisdom from his research and work as a parenting coach. With memorable stories, advice, and compassionate insight, he offers moms and dads a clear path to their own wholeness as parents—from learning to recognize and name their own emotional triggers to responding with a deeper awareness of their children’s developmental processes. What emerges is a collaborative partnership with children—free from the drama and pain of punishment.

In pages packed with the most helpful research findings from child developmental psychology, neurology, and pediatric medicine, readers will meet other parents just like them and children just like their own who have learned to use the tools and tips that Fogel provides. Punishment-Free Parenting is the simple, accessible, no-judgment book for parents who want the support and guidance of a dad just like them.

He is easy to listen to and doesn't make you feel judged. His insights into the developing child/toddler/teens brain is wonderfully eye opening. I know it will take work but his advice makes it seem doable!
