About this listen

“This parenting book actually made me a better parent.” (Lydia Kiesling, The New York Times)

From number-one New York Times best-selling authors, the ultimate “parenting bible” (The Boston Globe) - a timeless, beloved book on how to effectively communicate with your child.

This best-selling classic by internationally acclaimed experts on communication between parents and children includes fresh insights and suggestions, as well as the author’s time-tested methods to solve common problems and build foundations for lasting relationships, including innovative ways to:

  • Cope with your child’s negative feelings, such as frustration, anger, and disappointment
  • Express your strong feelings without being hurtful
  • Engage your child’s willing cooperation
  • Set firm limits and maintain goodwill
  • Use alternatives to punishment that promote self-discipline
  • Understand the difference between helpful and unhelpful praise
  • Resolve family conflicts peacefully

Enthusiastically praised by parents and professionals around the world, Faber and Mazlish’s down-to-earth, respectful approach makes relationships with children of all ages less stressful and more rewarding.

Very useful information and it works!🙏

They have taken the time to cram as much information as possible into this very relatable book and it has saved me from my child and my child from me! I would urge all parents to give this book a listen and dare to say that it didn’t help them in some way shape or form! It’s working for me and my child and I couldn’t be happier to finally have some guidance that works… most of the time! Thankyou for sharing it with the world 🌍

A must read for all teachers!!!

As a parent I wish that I could turn back time, but I can’t. What I can do is change the way I talk to the children I teach. There is a book specifically for teachers in this series, but I do think it is better to read this one first before reading the other one. It truly is a game changer which builds relationships on mutual respect and trust.

Super helpful and thought provoking book for parents of all age children

Should be mandatory reading for all parents of children over 1 year old! I'm so glad I read this book. It may well change my and my children's lives for the better.
