Product Description

Synopsis

Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish examine the inevitable stresses faced by parents of teenagers. Through role play and discussion, they show how to keep communication open with rebellious offspring, how to let go gracefully and yet retain respect and some degree of co-operation throughout these difficult years.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
As I ran from the parking lot to the school entrance, I held on tightly to my blowing umbrella and wondered why anyone would leave a warm home on such a cold, miserable night to come to a workshop on teenagers. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on teens I have yet met, 2 Jun 2009
By 
Tess N (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk (Paperback)
I had found the "How to talk so kids..." book by the same authors helpful, so thought I would give this one a try. It is really readable, and has lots of useful ideas in it. I like the combination of text and cartoons, as it seem to make it more memorable. I read it straight through in one sitting as soon as it arrived. Then I lent it to a friend who has already read it twice and now bought her own copy! So that means I can re-read mine, which I plan to do. It is so helpful to have a fresh point of view to get one out of the old dysfunctional patterns of communication (or not as the case may be!) with one's children - and also with other adults. I definitely recommend this book. (by Tess N)

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading, 1 Nov 2009
By 
A. Ryland (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk (Paperback)
This was easy to read and at times seemed to be stating the obvious, but the techniques suggested, for talking to your teen, were very subtle - and actually worked!! I think the basic idea is 'treat others as you would like to be treated yourself' and it seems that parents aren't particularly good at this when it comes to their teenage children. The examples were maybe a bit unrealistic but the idea of talking to your teen in such a way, that they realize for themselves why their behavior is unacceptable, is actually very good - it encourages the teen to think for themselves and take responsibility for their behavior. More importantly, as your teen sees that you are listening to them and not just dismissing their opinions etc, they really do open up you. Whether or not your teenage child is difficult to live with, or not, this is worth reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars How to stop you going mad, 23 Aug 2010
By 
R. Schutt "Devon Lady" (Devon UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk (Paperback)
This book was suggested to me by the school nurse. My teenage son is not only driving me crazy at home but is also getting into hot water at school. The book has some helpful tips and it is really easy to read. There are cartoon strips that act out typical scenarios and make an easy reference point. I haven't finished the book yet but I have seen some good results with what I've learnt so far. Any advice on how to deal with difficult moments with a teenager is good advice in my book.
