Very informative! Opens your eyes and changes the way you talk and engage woth kids

Very nice book, on how to talk with kids but as well to adults.Nice reading for parents and leaders

Must read for everyone especially parents. Lots of useful tips and ideas on how to talk to kids. Indeed I find the tips useful in every communication we have not only to kids

Awesome book! This is such a positive, loving way to raise your children to be resilient, respectful, empathetic, independent problem solvers, with self worth. I have three children: 13, ten and four and people always congratulate me for how “well behaved” they are. Something didn’t sit well with me, the idea of using bribes or punishments or judgemental glances towards my children in order to get their cooperation. This book offers a different and healthier way to raise children so that they can take responsibility for themselves and mature into confident, shame-free adults. It will take a while for the techniques to come naturally but I have so many pages highlighted, post-ited and tried many ideas already and my children are responding, serving to underline how far we underestimate their ability to problem-solve without conflict. I’ve just ordered the whole series (so much cheaper BTW).

I have the two best boys in the world who appear very happy. My eldest, in particular, never forgets to say please or thank you, but he rarely opened up to me about how he was getting on at school, so when I saw the ... How to listen so kids will talk, I decided I should give it a go, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?I have always been a strict parent, I have high expectations of my boys, myself, my husband... I have been going about reaching those high expectations the wrong way all my life it would appear! Having read the first few pages, it was clear that my attitude needed a drastic rethink. I tried to put the suggested teaching to work and instantly my eldest responded well. I can see him growing in confidence before my eyes and he's started talking openly about his life. I am humbled. Even the woman who knew everything, didn't. I'm still learning, and so are my family, but these two ladies have persuaded me that their way is better than mine ever was. It's not easy, and I forget easily, slipping into my old habits, but I believe this something really worth working at. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My psychologist friend has recommend this book when I felt overwhelm about the whole parenting things and this has helped me massively.

I wish I have read this book a few years earlier and it would have saved me a lot of frustration when dealt with a young child. This book gave you very practical tips on what to say or do to get cooperation from kids.

I have read half of this book and it is definitely a bible for parents.. Small things which we ignore can be so important for kids.. One example.. Kid is angry and you know that he's wrong but if you scold him, it takes you no where.. But if you just let them know that you understand that they are angry and they have feelings too, changes the whole scene.. Acknowledging their feelings can be important is what I have learned from this book till now.. I hope I learn more in the book
