Kids Listen?

"How to Talk so Kids will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk" by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

As a parent, I always strive to improve. I want my children to know that I love and respect them for their individuality. But seriously, sometimes my kids just do not listen. This is one of my main frustrations as a parent. I often feel like I am talking to myself and then I feel disrespected.

I saw this book title and thought it was worth a peek. I liked the format of the book and the ideas included.

For any parent that struggles to communicate effectively, this book offers hope and advice. It helped me evaluate the way I am speaking to the children and gave me ideas on how to alter that to get better response.
