How to Talk When Kids Won't Listen: Whining, Fighting, Meltdowns, Defiance, and Other Challenges of Childhood by Joanna Faber, Julie King
5.0
I am grateful to the authors for the opportunity to review this book in advance of its publication.
HTTWKWL was HILARIOUS. I never thought a parenting book could be simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny and deeply insightful. Julie and Joanna's writing is lively, crisp, and delightful to read. The authors present straightforward tools for improving relationships with children, but frankly I found these tools helpful in my adult relationships too. Perhaps most impressive, the book offers research-backed strategies but doesn't dwell on the theory. Instead, it offers concrete examples of the concepts via stories from real-life parents. This book is a must read for anyone who lives or works with children -- and really anyone looking for a good laugh.
