Notes on Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings by Laura Markham

12/19/2022

I recently finished reading Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings: How to Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Life by Laura Markham, and I thought it was great. It built on Siblings Without Rivalry and incorporated many ideas from RIE (such as from No Bad Kids). The biggest new ideas I learned from this book were about coaching instead of controlling (I liked many of the sample scenarios and scripts in the book), the importance of daily roughhousing and 1:1 special time, self-regulated turn-taking, and family property rules.

My main notes and takeaways are below.

I heard about Alisa Cohn from the podcast she did with Tim Ferriss. I recently finished reading her book From Start-Up to Grown-Up: Grow Your Leadership to Grow Your Business, and I really liked it and learned a lot. It served as an excellent overview of many parts of leadership and management and how those evolve as a company grows. I also loved that she had an appendix full of actual scripts for the most delicate situations that are so common.

Below are my main takeaways and notes on the book. I highly recommend it to any entrepreneur running a business that's growing.

Notes on UnSelfie by Michele Borba

I attended a parenting talk a while ago, and the speaker recommended the book UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World by Michele Borba. I recently finished reading it and thought it was decent. The book seemed to have a mnemonic/acronym for every situation, which I thought was clever but also tiring by the end. I did appreciate reading about all the different games and example activities that can help develop empathy in kids and the research behind why empathy helps kids succeed.

Below are my main notes and takeaways from the book.
