How to Talk So Kids and Teens Will Listen 3 Books Collection Set (Child Discipline books) - How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk, Siblings Without Rivalry, how to talk so teens will listen and listen so teens will talk Paperback

So far I have only read the 'Siblings without Rivalry' book, which had been recommended to me by the facilitator of our NCT group (for mums who expect their second child). The facilitator had used part of the book to show us in an interactive way how natural it is for older kids to get jealous when the younger sibling arrives by citing some of the phrases that asked to imagine that your husband comes home, puts his arm around you and says something like 'I love you so much and therefore decided to take another wife who is just like you'; and other scenes such as imagining that the new wife is quite cute, and all visitors are enthusiastic when they see her; also, since you have taken on some weight, your husband goes to your wardrobe and takes out some of your old clothes for the new wife, etc.When I bought the book, I found that it contained lots more examples that made you aware of how important it is to regularly also take the perspective of the child. The cover of the book looks quite cheap, but the content is of high quality and seems very professional. It is easy to read - and I personally often just skim through the pages and only read the cartoons, which show the 'do and don't ' ways of communicating with your children in order to reduce sibling rivalry. Having an older and a younger sibling myself, I can only confirm that what the author says is true, and I will try my best to follow her advice, so that hopefully there will be less resentment and rivalry between my own children. I find that some of her practical tips already work with my (3- and 1-year old) children, f.ex. one of the cartoons shows that if an older child hits his younger sibling, one should not give the attention to the perpetrator (which is what he wants, even if it is negative attention), but take it away from him and focus on the victim instead. Overall, I think it is an extremely helpful book, and I am even thinking of offering it to one of my sisters, who has two older children.

Amazing books every parent should read! Easy read, the images of the examples are easy to remember (maybe even photocopy and put somewhere in your house where you can see them to remember what to do in those cases when you need to!), your children will thank you! I was happily surprised to receive 4 books instead of 3, my bundle included "How to talk to kids will learn at home and school". If this was by mistake, well, thank you Amazon! :)

Still reading through them but so far they are really good. Read some of sibling rivalry and how to talk to kids. Both really good so far but loving the talk to kids book.

My kids, loves it.All.day after me to enlight me 😋 and pushed them thread more .

This was a great book. Easy to read and gain the information you need without wading through pages to get to the key points. Cartons act as quick reminder what to do when it is all starting to escalate.

These books have changed my thinking about parenting. I actually bought this set for sibling without rivalry. I have suffered a lot for rivalry between siblings and didn't want to happen this between my sons.

Amazing books that give guidance without patronising. Highly recommend even if you feel you dont have struggles. Do suggest one chapter a week to better put into practice the teachings though

Have not read them all yet but enjoying the "how to talk to kids". Was recommended by a friend and am definitely happy with my purchase
