"How to Talk..." is a contemporary classic and national bestseller about parent/child communications because it's supportive, friendly, and, above all, effective. It will help you communicate at the level of your children and can help them communicate better with you.

Revised and updated to provide fresh insights and innovative ideas, the book provides logical methods and parenting solutions to common parenting problems. Faber and Mazlish explore alternatives to punishment, describing problems and solutions rather than assigning blame, encouraging choices and respect, and helping children express their feelings through devoted listening and acknowledgement.

Includes helpful assignments for parents and illustrations to emphasize skills.

"How to Talk..." has been enthusiastically received from parents worldwide since its first publishing in 1980. According to the Christian Science Monitor, using the book's ideas "will bring about more cooperation from children than all the yelling and pleading in the world."
