ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk" by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish explores effective communication strategies for parents and children. The book focuses on building respectful relationships, emphasizing empathy, understanding, and mutual consideration. It provides practical skills for parents to acknowledge their children's feelings, engage their cooperation, and foster their autonomy. Instead of relying on punishment or control, the book offers alternatives such as describing situations, giving information, and talking about their feelings, as well as the use of descriptive praise. Ultimately, the work underscores the importance of creating an environment where children feel heard, valued, and empowered to solve their own problems.
