Product Description

Adele Faber y Elaine Mazlish han ayudado a millones de familias con sus bestsellers. Ahora, y por primera vez en espaÑol, estas aclamadas expertas a nivel internacional nos ofrecen una guÍa que le darÁ las herramientas necesarias para ayudarles a sus adolescentes -- ¡y a usted mismo! -- a sobrevivir la etapa difÍcil de la adolescencia.

"Mi hijo de trece aÑos pasa su tiempo con los peores chicos de la escuela. Le paso diciendo que se aleje de ellos, pero siempre me ignora. ¿CÓmo hago para que me haga caso?"

"Mi hija pasa mucho tiempo en el Internet charlando con un muchacho de diecisÉis aÑos. Bueno, por lo menos eso dice Él. Ahora la quiere conocer. Ella estÁ muy entusiasmada. Yo tengo miedo. ¿QuÉ hago?"

"Acabo de enterarme que mi hija de doce aÑos fuma marihuana. ¿CÓmo la confronto?"

Vivir con un adolescente puede ser abrumador. A veces es como si nuestros niÑos cariÑosos se convirtieran de la noche a la maÑana en adolescentes independientes, con sus propios pensamientos, gustos y valores. Hoy en dÍa, los jÓvenes estÁn creciendo en un mundo mÁs cruel, mÁs materialista, mÁs sexual y mÁs violento que antes. ¿QuÉ se debe hacer?

Tras muchos aÑos de investigaciÓn, conferencias y comentarios que han recibido, Faber y Mazlish, autoras del clÁsico bestseller CÓmo Hablar para que los NiÑos Escuchen y CÓmo Escuchar para que los NiÑos Hablen, han desarrollado una innovadora forma de mantener un diÁlogo abierto y respetuoso entre padres y adolescentes, una estrategia que le pone frenos al conflicto, reduce frustraciones y fomenta conversaciones acerca de las drogas, el sexo y otros temas difÍciles y de actualidad.

Escrito en el estilo prÁctico y popular de estas galardonadas autoras, y lleno de sugerencias, historias y dibujos, esta guÍa le ayudarÁ a construir una relaciÓn mÁs comunicativa y menos conflictiva con sus adolescentes.

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.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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)

Worth reading 1 Nov 2009
Format: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.

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.

Well although I haven't finished the book, it certainly has given me a wider view on my soon to be teen. It does what it says on the tin and offers some comedy. A good buy.

Essential reading for anyone who deals with teens!
This book should be made compulsory for every teacher in training and mailed to every parent. It is worth its weight in gold. Check out the other titles which are equally as good.
