Aha! Dr. Laura Markham

Dr. Laura http://www.ahaparenting.com/

Dr. Laura Markham trained as a Clinical Psychologist, earning her PhD from Columbia University.  But she's also a mom, so she translates proven science into the practical solutions you need for the family life you want.

She has a clear and concise writing style that makes these important concepts easy to understand and implement. Parents and teachers can enjoy her professional insights and enhance the children's experience at home and in the classroom.

Here are a variety of her articles I have found helpful:
