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.

Very useful information and it works!🙏

They have taken the time to cram as much information as possible into this very relatable book and it has saved me from my child and my child from me! I would urge all parents to give this book a listen and dare to say that it didn’t help them in some way shape or form! It’s working for me and my child and I couldn’t be happier to finally have some guidance that works… most of the time! Thankyou for sharing it with the world 🌍

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.
