How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk

Flew through this because it was due back at the library and now I just need to buy it and read it all over again. You would not know it was written so long ago and while it seems as though the content should be common sense it isn't. Too many years of talking to our kids like we were talked to and what they write about acknowledging feelings (both good and bad), helping kids problem solve and work out conflicts with siblings, those are such important things. I am already saddened at how I have talked to my infant sometimes and she isn't even a year old yet. So glad I read this now so I can spend years perfecting my new skills.
