From America's leading experts on parent-child communication, authors of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk and Siblings Without Rivalry, comes a breakthrough guide telling parents and techers how to handle one of the burning issues of our day: how to motivate kids to succeed in school at a time when schools are rife with violence and many students are openly rebellious.

Teaming up with two award-winning teachers who well know the problems of our faltering school system, Faber and Mazlish adapt their unique, time-tested communication strategies to the specific concerns of the classroom.

Once again using the dramatically effective "dialogue" technique (what to say and how and when to say it) that has made their work famous worldwide, they illustrate how to use this method to help kids handle the schoolwork and behavioral and peer problems that interfere with the learning process.

Perhaps useful in a limited stance

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020

I know that the book was written with what was described as years of research but it does seem biased. The strategies described may work for a majority of students and perhaps with younger kids but I believe that it is not necessarily a good approach for everyone. I could see a number of ways in which it would not apply to high school age students due to the simple-minded responses. So much of it was too "new age" thinking without respecting some older strategies which also still work. For instance, I believe that eliminating all labels is unnecessary, especially since some students feel pride and satisfaction in the label(s) they have developed or worked for. Also, the book seemed to dislike comparative practices between students, however in my educational experiences being ranked was extremely motivational and the major joy of my schooling. Students who are the best at their classes or athletics should be acknowledged as such because many colleges use these rankings for scholarship determination. Eventually these children will become adults and will have to face criticism and competition in the workforce, I believe that they should be prepared for that outcome at least to some extent. Book may be worth a peruse for some ideas if working with a challenging student or child. However, the narrative was a little too naive and unrealistic in my opinion, the "new teacher" they constructed and her colleagues seemed illogical and it read a little brain-washy.

It is not dull, has lots of examples

This is a book that I have ordered multiple times because I am always lending or giving it to other teachers. It is not dull, has lots of examples, and the principles work. I learned the principles (from Dr. Haim Ginott, their teacher, who was a psychologist at least 30 years ago) many years ago, and all of the practical applications of Faber and Mazlish have helped me to implement them in the classroom. Every teacher should know this way to communicate with children. Parents, too (How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk)...long title, but great book by the same authors. All of the books have the same basic principles, just applied to various populations.

I am in school to be a nurse and am interested in pediatric nursing. I found this book to be extremely helpful in speaking with/addressing children (and some adults). So many doors have opened up using the helpful hints in this book. I love how it’s written for every type of learner and gives real world examples to pull from. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to develop better skills with children!

I recommend this book for any parent

As a clinical psychologist w/ extensive experience working with children and families, I recommend this book for any parent.
It's full of helpful, fun, and easy suggestions for behavioral management and improving parent-child relationships.
Changes resentment by children at limits imposed into giggles and increased cooperation. Fosters awareness of choices
and personal accountability.
Have bought and given away a lot of copies of this book. I haven't found a better one.

Repetitive from their original book "how to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk". If you already own one then dont buy the other. I wouldnt buy this one buy original if you don't have either. It's a great book and I have applied everything taught with great success.

How to Talk so Kids Can Learn

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is the teacher's edition of author's earlier works. It makes good sense and has immediate practical applications for use in the classroom. I bought a copy and gave it to a new teacher and will give it for other young teachers starting out. Starting out on the right foot is much better than not. I did like how they had the text laid out so that the points were presented in a way to be found in outline when you need a good reminder of them.

Schooly

Very school based, so not too suited for home ed, where you actually know 100% what is going on with the learning anyway!
Passed this onto a friend who has school children, as Adele Faber writes great books and the advice is probably very ok if you don't actually know so much of what is going on in your child's day, or if you want to help with homework.

If you're a parent, a great idea, but How to talk so kids will listen... by the same authors , is really the book for you. If you are a teacher, this is DEFINITELY for you. Not for the fainthearted or for anyone whose heart is not into helping kids. My only real disappointment is that I can't find a copy in Italian for my children's teachers (we live in Italy). Ah well, perhaps I'll have to start translating it for them!

This is now the 3rd book I have read in this series in trying to work with difficult kids. Great tips and hints or what to do and say to help vulnerable and challenging kids. Ignore the americanisms (which can be a bit irksome) and take the advice of these very sensible ladies.
