A New Parenting Book to Help You Stay Calm and Connected
The Calm & Connected Parent shows you how to steady yourself, lead with confidence, and change your child’s behavior without yelling, shame, or power struggles
Does This Sound Like You?
“I can see my emotional state directly affecting my child’s behavior, and I need to get myself calm first.”
“I need my spouse to steady me when I’m losing it, not be another person I have to manage.”
“I swore I’d never parent like I was raised, but when I’m stressed or angry, those old patterns take over.”
If you see yourself in any of those statements, you’re not alone.
This book and its companion course were created for parents just like you thoughtful, loving, and ready for real change, but tired of approaches that don’t hold up in real life.
Why This Isn’t Just One More
Parenting Method
Most advice starts with your child’s behavior. This starts with you
and your relationship with your child.
You’ve probably tried consequences, rewards, charts, or strict limits. They might work for a few days, then everything slips back to the way it was.
That’s because your child’s behavior is usually a signal, not the core problem.
In The Calm & Connected Parent, you’ll learn how to:
Start with a simple connection ritual: Before you give directions, you take a brief moment to reconnect so your child actually hears you and feels safe enough to cooperate
Get yourself calm first: You’ll learn practical ways to steady your own emotions so you can respond instead of react—even when you’re tired, triggered, or overwhelmed
Change your patterns without beating yourself up: Together we look at where your reactions come from and how to do things differently now, with kindness toward yourself instead of shame
Work as a team with your spouse or co-parent: Instead of arguing about parenting or feeling like you’re managing them too, you’ll build a shared approach that supports both of you and your child.
This is not about being a perfect parent.
It’s about becoming a steady, loving leader in your child’s life.

About Todd Sarner, MFT
For over two decades, I’ve been helping thoughtful, high-achieving parents move from daily battles to a calmer, more connected family life.
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and the Director of Transformative Parenting in the San Francisco Bay Area. I trained directly with Dr. Gordon Neufeld and served as a former faculty member at the Neufeld Institute, where I taught parents and professionals around the world.
Since 2004, I’ve worked with thousands of families facing everything from intense tantrums and oppositional behavior to anxiety, school struggles, and screen battles.
My work blends attachment science, neuroscience, and very practical, real-world strategies designed for busy parents who want to raise resilient, emotionally secure kids in a rapidly changing, digital world.

What Parents Are Saying...
“Before this, every school night felt like a battle. My 8-year-old was melting down over homework and screens, and my husband and I were constantly arguing about how to handle it. The Calm & Connected approach helped us slow down, reconnect with our son, and get on the same page as parents. Our home is so much calmer—and I actually enjoy bedtime now.”
“I used to think I just needed to find the right consequence to make my daughter listen. This helped me see what was really going on underneath the behavior. When I focused on connection first and learned how to calm myself, everything changed. My daughter is still spirited, but she’s not fighting me the way she used to—and I don’t go to bed feeling like the ‘mean mom’ anymore.”
“As two working parents in tech, we were drowning in guilt. Screens, school, emotional blow-upsyou name it.The book gave us a framework that made sense, and the Companion Course helped us actually live it in small, doable steps. We feel like a team again, and our kids feel it too.”
