By the authors of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, this book gives parents the practical tools they need to cope with conflict, encourage cooperation, reduce competition, and make it possible for children to experience the joys of their special relationship. With humor and understanding - much gained from raising their own children - Faber and Mazlish explain how and when to intervene in fights, provide suggestions on how
to help children channel their hostility into creative outlets, and demonstrate how to treat
children unequally and still be fair. Updated to incorporate fresh thoughts after years of
conducting workshops for parents and professionals, this edition also includes a new
afterword.
