How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk

新品でした。CDプレイヤーが壊れてしまったので、まだ中身は聞いていませんが、英語の練習に良いと思います。

EVERYONE should read this ...it's a great book about communication with kids and adults alike! Would be a great addition to any classroom as well...something as fundamental as effective communication skills is so important and yet most of us struggle with this every day. Can't recommend it enough...along with their other volumes: How to Talk So Kids Will Learn and Siblings Without Rivalry.

This is a great basic primer on the dynamics of parents and children, their communication and discipline. It encourages parents to actively listen to their children and validate emotions. It speaks about young kids as well as teenagers. I think that for parents, this would be extremely helpful. It's also not boring to listen to and gets the point quickly.To therapists and other clinical professionals: I was a bit disappointed that this didn't teach me new skills or give me new concepts or a different perspective. Everything you learn in this book you will learn in college and in your work. Basically, speak to your children the way you would when showing empathy to a client. Validate their emotions. Have boundaries. Reinforcement works better than punishment. Let your kids face the consequences of their actions to learn. Give your teenagers more space and responsibility because they are older. Nothing unexpected or new.

I bought this for my husband, he is not a great communicator so he hasn't said much but i know he is listening to it. I have noticed that he is changing his behaviour with the children and the children's responses so something must be going in :) I think it is a great book/cd

Too early to say how effective this audiobook will be in the long term. However, in the first week of applying the learnings, my wife and I noticed a calmer house and alot less resistance from our 4 year old when trying to doing anything with her. Long may it last. Looking forward to seeing how things fair out as we come up against more challenges going forward.
