A Survival Guide to Life with Children Ages 2-7Parent and educator Faber, with educator King, picks up where esteemed mom Adele Faber (How To Talk So Kids Will Listen) left off wit h this updated "survival guide" for talking to little kids and gaining compliance. Her wisdom is in the same affectionate and funny style of mom: "Enough with all the talk about feelings. It's lovely to know we're enhancing our children's confidence...but we still have to get our kids to do things." Faber zeroes in on the most common (and irritating) things and tactics little ones employ, and provides caregivers with a clear and supportive path to holding their own. From tattling ("snitches and whistleblowers") to runaways ("kids who take off in the parking lot and other public places"), the authors describe exactly what life with little kids is like and make neither excuses nor pedagogical pronouncements; their advice is always supportive, appropriate, and ultimately best for the parking lot escapee in question. VERDICT Parents should not be put off by this volume's length. The "How To Talk" books are treasures to read. All libraries should acquire and recommend with gusto.-Julianne Smith, Ypsilanti District Library, MI table{border-collapse:collapse}td{background-color:#efefef;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px}th{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px} Sku: 0060741252 Author: Joanna Faber & Julie King Isbn 10: 150113163X Isbn 13: 9781501131639 Pages: 432 Size: 5.5" x 8.3" Binding: Hardcover Date: 1/10/2017 Imprint: Scribner Show more
