obvious and done better by others October 19, 2008
The theories and ideas presented by this book are great, but the way they are presented completely turns me off to their ideas. It seems to be presented in a fantasy world and while the teacher in the book still struggles with how to implement these ideas, it does not feel like real experiences. The examples of how to respond to the kids don;t seem genuine and are in many cases impractical.br /If you still want to explore these ideas check out Teaching With Love and Logic: Taking Control of the Classroom, it does a much better job at presenting almost the same material in a much better way.

Wonderful new way to parent September 6, 2008
This book has helped us in so many ways. It is a guide to a new way of parenting your children that does not involve yelling, threats, or violence. I was skeptical at first, but as my wife and I tried it my childrens' attitudes changed towards us and towards each other. I would recommend this book to any parent. There is always something we can do better!!

Communication is the key July 26, 2008
Faber and Mazlish do a great job of walking the reader through the maze of steps to effectively communicate with children. This book focuses on how teachers can improve their communication skills just like their previous one, How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk, looks at how to improve parental communication. br /br /I especially liked the comics which demonstrated a good use of visuals aka Carol Gray's Social Stories to show the intricacies of effective communication.br /br /I have recommended this to teachers and parents as a means of understanding that "How" we communicate to children is as important as "What" we communicate.

I borrowed this book from the library - 3 times now. I need a copy for my shelf to re-read once in a while. I am a home-school mom with a difficult child (he is proud of it), and I also teach a co-op class of teenagers. I began applying techniques as I learned them with results that were surprising and quick. I could imagine the little cogs in their brains turning on the light in their eyes - if you are a teacher, you know how exciting that is! br /br /As a Christian raising Christian children, I agree that the parent should have the final say-so in any given situation concerning their child. After all, they are ultimately responsible for their child's upbringing, well being, and even their actions in some cases. However, helping a child come to the correct conclusion themselves is not "walking on eggshells", it is more difficult than that. It is helping them grow into adults that can make good decisions and think through problems - a priceless skill that is difficult to teach. br /br /Oddly enough, the techniques in this book helped give me more control as an authority figure, not less. I like this book because I can quickly pick it up and read what I need to, then get back to teaching. br /br /If I may, a book that would work hand-in-hand with this one, but more in discipline (not punishment), is "The Heart of Anger" by Priolo. Both books have helped me teach and grow my willful son with love and direction.
