I am looking for a book recommended for reading by a college professor - it is called How to talk so your kids will listen - Faber.Mazlish I feel it is probably going to be a brush up for me on the skills of Effective Communication. If anyone has it - can you share or if you find it cheap let me know - I tried Amazon to get it through the CD site - but no go. Thakns
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Kids-Will-Listen/dp/0380811960"]Amazon.com: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk: Adele Faber,Elaine Mazlish: Books[/ame] There you go, dahlink!
Your library probably has a copy (and a waiting list). It's a pretty popular parenting book and not that bad of one.
I always start with my library. If they don't have the book, they can usually get what I want from another library. Sometimes you have to wait awhile, though. But it beats paying for the book! I've been waiting quite awhile for "The total money makeover : a proven plan for financial fitness" by Dave Ramsey and last night ordered "Hot flashes from heaven" by Ronna Snyder. Can't wait for that one to come in!! sue
http://product.half.ebay.com/How-To...sten-So-Kids-Will-Talk_W0QQprZ925509QQtgZinfo Here is is on half.com for about $4 plus shipping. Might also try ebay. It is a pretty good book. I just think my difficult child didn't get the "listen to anything parents say" gene. It certainly was an entertaining read, but didn't help us much. I still think it didn't help us because difficult child just isn't normal. No one in my family is. Susie
