Newmag and Yeraz Projects present "Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting" (trailer)

Based on real family experiences, the book offers thoughtful and effective strategies to handle daily challenges, prevent unwanted behavior, and build calm, respectful communication with children.

Why is parenting more stressful today? Modern families face new and complex challenges that differ greatly from those of previous generations. Fast-paced routines, constant pressure, and high expectations often leave parents overwhelmed.

Noelle Janis-Norton, a graduate of New York University’s Teachers College and a specialist in learning and behavior, approaches these challenges with practical solutions:

“It is not surprising that we often become stressed and start to nag, threaten, criticize, or raise our voices just to stay on schedule. Stress may not disappear, but we can reduce tension at home and learn to cooperate with our children.”

The author emphasizes that parenting is a skill that can be learned. The book is designed for parents of children aged 3 to 13 and provides clear, step-by-step tools to improve cooperation and build positive habits.

It also addresses a common concern among parents:

“We often rely on the methods we experienced as children, even when they do not work. Many parents are searching for better ways but do not know how to guide their children effectively.”

Inside the book, readers will find:

• practical strategies to transform everyday stressful situations
• step-by-step approaches that are easy to apply
• methods to prevent unwanted behavior
• tools for calm and respectful communication
• real-life stories from families

The Armenian edition is translated by Naira Muradyan.

A thoughtful and solution-oriented guide that focuses on prevention and long-term change rather than quick fixes.

The book will be presented at the “Yeraz” Children’s Festival on May 3, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, at Yeraz Park. Admission is free, and the book will be available at a special discount.
