How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen

very-very-very good

Excellent performance from all the narrators and authors! Really enjoyable to listen and very informative. I'm still in progress to change how I'm with my kids along the advises from this book, but can say that after a week - loosely using the tools that are presented in the book - got some very positive changes.
It also had some life gems for me. Never really understood why I couldn't take praises when I was a child myself, but after listening the part about praises, now finally understood what mistakes most of us do when praising one and another.
The authors are not pretending to give you a 100% working examples, since all kids are different this would be impossible, but rather many-many good techniques and advises.

Must "read" for all busy/stressed/normal parents :)

Never too late to try different approaches

It's not a magic wound - nothing is. But there are some good tips and explanations. Happy I bought it.

High level sound advice

the main points the authors make are useful and I'll be implementing myself in my parenting. It was ironic that they recommend against commanding and using negative language, but the examples of what but to do and the key points section are presented in this way to the reader! I feel like more example of what parents could do should have been given instead, and using the word "don't" less towards the parents reading these books. We learn best by example after all!

Tools to navigate parenting

The stories in this book reflect everyday struggles I go through with my 3 hound ones. It has given me practical steps which I am able to use most of the time.

A wonderful book packed full of help

This book offers wonderful ideas and action points to help with understanding the emotional wellbeing of children between ages 2-7. It offers practical and proactive suggestions that are workable in everyday life to reach solutions to seemingly outrageous outbursts from our little people. It was well read and engaging and definitely a book you can return to time and time again. Highly recommend it!

You have no idea what you're doing

You think you know how to communicate with your child effectively, heck, you even think you know how to communicate to your wife effectively. You don't. I didn't. I still don't, but I'm working on it. This book is one that I don't think I'll ever forget, and already at 19 months, we're seeing great benefits with our son. Every situation is a problem to be solved, and if you have an empty tool box then all you've got is what your instincts tell you, and what you were exposed to when growing up. Your mother read Mills and Boon, that's why you guys don't get on. If you want better relationships with the people around you, especially your child, this book will open your eyes. It's not preachy and doesn't pretend to have all the answers, but it's better than the answers you've got.

Great help in raising kids

Loved this book. It helped me a lot when it comes to dealing and understanding my nearly 3 year old daughter.

Not for (my) toddler

Whilst the approaches suggested in this book sound like a good idea, I really couldn’t tell you whether they work or not, because I’m miles off from being able to use them with my 2 year old son. The book promises to offer techniques for kids 2-7, but all of them rely on reasoning and explanation, some of them even on writing! And I’m not just talking about basic explanations here, these explanations are so nuanced that articular words and their order are suggested for greater impact. Subtle choices between one thing and another. My 2 year old son has a vocab of about 80 words (mainly nouns) and doesn’t understand yet how to choose between two things. In fact he doesn’t understand much of anything, and I’m sure this inability of the two of us to be able to communicate effectively with words and reason is at the core of his tantrums and frustration. I really felt disappointed to find so little (besides trying to be amusing or fun) that I could use in such a highly rated book. From what I understood, 2 is the really tough time and the perfect time to start laying the basis for positive discipline, however I didn’t find the tools needed in the book for 2 year old. I must commend the explanations for why punishment and praise won’t work. I will definitely revisit this book when my son is older.

A must read book

Especially when you are struggling with your toddler,they give you tools how to talk to them.Highly recommended book

Life Changing

This book is by far the very best book I have ever read about children. It has changed my life. My daughter has responded in such a positive way that our house feels so much more peaceful and she is even starting to become nicer to her little brother which is a miracle. Thank You So Much for writing!!!!
