The "scream" in "ScreamFree" refers not only to the ways we raise our voices to our children, but to all the ways we react emotionally to them. "Screaming" refers to throwing your hands up in defeat, to lecturing or explaining over and over, and to coercing your children via bribes or messages about how they owe us good behavior because we did this or that for them.
ScreamFree Parenting* is not just about lowering our voices. It's about raising our integrity.
ScreamFree Parenting teaches people that parenting isn't about the kids, it's about the parents. Watch the video to hear Hal teach the principles that have so many parents feeling excited and invigorated about their relationships with their children.

As Miriam says, "Even with all my training as a family therapist, nothing could have prepared me for the challenges of raising my two girls. ScreamFree Parenting has transformed my relationship with my girls several times and I am confident that I am now building the kind of relationship I've always wanted with my children. I am eager and excited to share these ideas with other parents!"
