Internationally acclaimed experts on communication between parents and children, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish update their best-selling classic with fresh insights and suggestions, as well as the authors' time-tested methods to solve common problems and build foundations for lasting relationships. They break down how parents' communication methods affect how their children respond, and encourage parents to develop new ways of speaking — and listening — to their kids to foster communication and cooperative problem solving.
Inside this book, you'll find tips like how to help your child (and yourself!) cope with negative feelings like frustration, anger, and disappointment; how to set firm but fair limits; how to praise in ways that are empowering, and avoid unhelpful praise; and how to resolve family conflicts peacefully. Enthusiastically praised by parents and professionals around the world, the down-to-earth, respectful approach of Faber and Mazlish makes relationships with children of all ages less stressful and more rewarding.
