Summary

“This parenting book actually made me a better parent.” (Lydia Kiesling, The New York Times) 

From number-one New York Times best-selling authors, the ultimate “parenting bible” (The Boston Globe) - a timeless, beloved book on how to effectively communicate with your child.

This best-selling classic by internationally acclaimed experts on communication between parents and children includes fresh insights and suggestions, as well as the author’s time-tested methods to solve common problems and build foundations for lasting relationships, including innovative ways to: 

  • Cope with your child’s negative feelings, such as frustration, anger, and disappointment 
  • Express your strong feelings without being hurtful 
  • Engage your child’s willing cooperation 
  • Set firm limits and maintain goodwill 
  • Use alternatives to punishment that promote self-discipline 
  • Understand the difference between helpful and unhelpful praise 
  • Resolve family conflicts peacefully  

Enthusiastically praised by parents and professionals around the world, Faber and Mazlish’s down-to-earth, respectful approach makes relationships with children of all ages less stressful and more rewarding.

Super helpful and thought provoking book for parents of all age children

Should be mandatory reading for all parents of children over 1 year old! I'm so glad I read this book. It may well change my and my children's lives for the better.
