How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen

More about the book

For over thirty-five years, parents have relied on a classic guide for respectful and effective solutions to the challenges of raising children. In response to growing demand, Joanna Faber and Julie King adapt these powerful communication skills specifically for children ages two to seven. Both experts share insights gained from years of conducting workshops with parents and professionals. Through engaging storytelling, cartoons, and real-life discussions, they offer practical tools and tips that can transform relationships with young kids. The book addresses common issues such as a child refusing to brush their teeth, screaming in the car, pinching siblings, or throwing books in the library. Organized by typical challenges, it serves as an emergency first-aid manual for communication strategies, including a chapter focused on the needs of children with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorders. This user-friendly guide empowers parents and caregivers to build rewarding relationships with toddlers and preschoolers, helping them grow into self-reliant, cooperative big kids connected to their families and peers.
