Riassunto

Bridge the generation/communication gap with the proven techniques of Suzette Haden Elgin. Do you ever feel as if you and your child speak different languages? Does that stranger who looks like your teenager fly into a rage when you ask a question? Does your toddler wage the Battle of Bedtime each night? If so, help is at hand. As the mother of four and grandmother of nine, bestselling communications expert Suzette Haden Elgin has spent a lifetime talking with kids. In this refreshingly direct and down-to-earth book, she shows you how to talk to your child about anything and everything . . . positively, productively, and above all, peacefully. Her personal approach employs realistic scenarios and dialogues to illustrate key points, emphasizing communication without confrontation. You'll learn to: Be a better listener. Speak firmly, yet compassionately. Spot early warning signs such as anger, sulking, and moodiness. Handle a wide variety of problems, from bedtime and bathtime encounters to more serious issues such as self-esteem, teen pregnancy and drug abuse. With special attention given to the needs of today's technically-savvy "cyberchildren," here is expert, parent-to-parent advice from one of the most respected names in the field.
