A must-have resource for anyone who lives or works with young kids,
with an introduction by Adele Faber, coauthor of How to Talk So Kids
Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, the international
mega-bestseller The Boston Globe dubbed "The Parenting Bible."
For over thirty-five years, parents have turned to How to Talk So Kids
Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk for its respectful and effective
solutions to the unending challenges of raising children. Now, in
response to growing demand, Adele's daughter, Joanna Faber, along with
Julie King, tailor How to Talk's powerful communication skills to
children ages two to seven.
Faber and King, each a parenting expert in her own right, share their
wisdom accumulated over years of conducting How To Talk workshops with
parents and a broad variety of professionals. With a lively combination
of storytelling, cartoons, and fly-on-the-wall discussions from their
workshops, they provide concrete tools and tips that will transform your
relationship with the young kids in your life.
What do you do with a little kid who...won't brush her teeth...screams
in his car seat...pinches the baby...refuses to eat vegetables...throws
books in the library...runs rampant in the supermarket? Organized
according to common challenges and conflicts, this book is an essential
emergency first-aid manual of communication strategies, including a
chapter that addresses the special needs of children with sensory
processing and autism spectrum disorders.
This user-friendly guide will empower parents and caregivers of young
children to forge rewarding, joyful relationships with terrible
two-year-olds, truculent three-year-olds, ferocious four-year-olds,
foolhardy five-year-olds, self-centered six-year-olds, and the
occasional semi-civilized seven-year-old. And, it will help little kids
grow into self-reliant big kids who are cooperative and connected to
their parents, teachers, siblings, and peers.
