Reviews of: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk (How to Help Your Child) (How to Help Your Child)by Adele Faber; Elaine Mazlish
Reviews fantastic book! Anyone who has children should read this book! It explains how you can help your children express their feelings verbally instead of physically and how you can encourage problem solving instead of conflict. The book is easy to read and incudes lots of examples of how each 'technique' can be applied in everyday situations. The summary pages at the end of each section provide useful reminders of the main points. It works too! My son really responds to the methods this book describes. I have recommended this book to all my friends and bought another copy for my sister! 2009-01-02 brilliant and practical My boy is 6 years old. This book has helped me to improve his self esteem, helped me to help him to manage his feelings and build his confidence. With practical advice and examples this book gives clear guidance on how to get your child to talk openly and comfortably about everything. It has helped me remain calm, consistent and content in my parenting approach. Simply wonderful. I am forever grateful that i took a chance and bought it!I have a more content, more confident, less self critical and happier little boy! 2008-12-21 THIS BOOK IS AMAZING This book has simply transformed our lives. Don't bother with the homework and working your way through the examples unless you feel you need to. The message is really simple and the techniques easy to learn. My previously normal but strong-minded and stroppy-on-occasion son is still strong minded and stroppy but now I can get him to do what needs to be done without a row, we don't end up screaming at each other, I am far less stressed, we have loads more fun and he has started displaying lots more unrequested positive behaviours regularly. As the book says when you look for the best in your children they show you their best. When I think how I used to talk to him and how it must have made him feel I squirm inside. He is such a nicer person for the different way we talk to him. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. An instant improvement the day I bought and read the book. Thank you. 2008-12-18 Is it coincidence, or has this book really made my life with kids better!? I bought this book about three months ago after a particularly bad week with my boys (aged 2 and 4). A lot of tantrums, whining, shouting, crying (on all parts) plus the anxiety of starting school made me feel I really needed to change something. I had read an earlier book by the same author (Siblings without Rivalry) and liked the style so gave it a go. The first few weeks were a difficult transition. Trying the new methods, yet in the back of mind doubting them, I kept reverting back to the usual methods (after all naughty steps and reward charts seem so popular these days). Again - a difficult week and I gave it another go. After four weeks of effort on my part we finally started getting somewhere and slowly but surely their suggested behaviour and responses became more natural.Three months on, I can honestly say we all have a much better relationship. I still shout (which thankfully is `allowed' in this book) - but situations don't spiral out of control... I am angry about a situation, I suggest better options and we all carry on. I don't bombard my son with questions about school - `who did you play with', `did you eat lunch' and yet he chats much more readily. My two year old still has tantrums and a very determined personality; but even he has softened and seems to respond much better. Fingers crossed it isn't coincidence or a phase and I have really have made things better! 2008-10-16 Sanity Found - All Parents Should Read I was looking for some serious guides on my children - this book put it all into perspective and gave me some wonderful guidelines - I've recommended it to loads of friends and some even finish the title before me and smile noting the help it provided.
