The Calm Parent’s Guide

How to Stop Yelling, Build Connection, and Enjoy Parenting Again

By: Sarah Mitchell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Are you tired of yelling… but don’t know how else to get through to your kids?

You love your children deeply, yet some days it feels like the only way to get them to listen is by raising your voice. The guilt after shouting lingers. You promise yourself tomorrow will be different—but tomorrow comes, and the cycle repeats.

You’re not alone. And you’re not failing. You simply need a new way forward.

In The Calm Parent’s Guide, parenting coach Sarah Mitchell shows you how to break free from the cycle of yelling and guilt and replace it with calm, connection, and joy. With relatable stories, practical strategies, and research explained in plain language, this book will help you:

• Understand why you lose your cool (and what’s really going on under the surface).
• Build simple daily practices to strengthen your patience.
• Use powerful “pause tools” to stay calm in heated moments.
• Set boundaries and discipline effectively—without yelling.
• Repair relationships after you’ve messed up.
• Let go of perfectionism and rediscover joy in the everyday moments of parenting.

This is not a book about being the perfect parent. It’s about being a present parent—the kind your kids can trust, respect, and feel safe with.

Whether your kids are toddlers, school-aged, or teens, The Calm Parent’s Guide will give you the tools and hope you need to transform your home from chaos and conflict to calm and connection.

Take a deep breath. Change is possible. And it starts here.
