When children cry, it's easy to get frustrated or overwhelmed. We may try to ignore their tears, distract them, or even punish them. But Markham shows us that tears are actually a valuable gift. They are a way for children to express their emotions, process their experiences, and heal their wounds.

Markham provides concrete tools and strategies for parents to use when their children are crying. She teaches us how to:

Create a safe and supportive space for children to express their emotions

Listen without judgment or criticism

Validate children's feelings, even if we don't agree with them

Help children to understand and process their emotions

Set limits and boundaries while still being compassionate

Markham's approach is based on the latest research on child development and attachment. She shows us that when we listen to our children with empathy and compassion, we are helping them to develop into healthy, resilient, and loving adults.

Tears Heal is an essential book for any parent who wants to create a strong and loving relationship with their child. It is a book that will change the way you parent, and the way you see your child.
