Ranked #2,701 in Parenting & Kids, #84,592 overall
A Parenting Classic
The book helped me to recognize some ineffectual (okay destructive) communication patterns I had with my children, like lecturing and nagging, and to replace those patterns with more loving, effective ones. The authors offer practical suggestions, thought exercises, role plays, and answers to frequent questions and objections. I recommend this book for all parents, teachers, and caregivers. The communication principles transfer well to other relationships too--spouses, adult relatives, and coworkers.

Between Parent and Child
The Inspiration for How to Talk So KIds Will LIsten
- Never deny or ignore a child's feelings.
- Only behavior is treated as unacceptable, not the child.
- Depersonalize negative interactions by mentioning only the problem. "I see a messy room."
- Attach rules to things, e.g., "Little sisters are not for hitting."
- Dependence breeds hostility. Let children do for themselves what they can.
- Children need to learn to choose, but within the safety of limits. "Would you like to wear this blue shirt or this red one?"
- Limit criticism to a specific event-don't say "never", "always", as in: "You never listen," "You always manage to spill things", etc.
- Refrain from using words that you would not want the child to repeat.

- Parenting is a journey that we take. The biggest lesson I have learned in life was that I set the way my children grow up - Children learn by example. If I do not listen, my children will also not listen.
This has opened my eyes and made parenting a much easier task.

- It's just plain difficult to be a parent at times. I'm glad there are people who are able to express their successes to those like me who are learning more every day. : )
