About Us

Wave Parenting makes guides for parents who want to yell less and talk more — even when their child is slamming doors, screaming “no!” or hasn’t said a word in a week.

Why we created our e-books

Parents rarely need another theory. They need words for that one moment that’s about to turn into a fight. That’s why every piece of advice in our e-books ends with a concrete phrase you can use tonight.

What our approach is based on

Our guides draw on approaches developed by developmental psychologists and experts in communicating with children — including Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, Ross W. Greene, and Thomas Gordon. The full list of sources is at the end of every e-book.

Honestly

Our e-books are educational and are not a substitute for a diagnosis or for help from a psychologist, therapist, or doctor. Each one includes a chapter on when it’s no longer ordinary defiance and where to get support in the US.
