Book Description

August 23, 2005

Adele Faber y Elaine Mazlish han ayudado a millones de familias con sus bestsellers. Ahora, y por primera vez en espaÑol, estas aclamadas expertas a nivel internacional nos ofrecen una guÍa que le darÁ las herramientas necesarias para ayudarles a sus adolescentes -- ¡y a usted mismo! -- a sobrevivir la etapa difÍcil de la adolescencia.

"Mi hijo de trece aÑos pasa su tiempo con los peores chicos de la escuela. Le paso diciendo que se aleje de ellos, pero siempre me ignora. ¿CÓmo hago para que me haga caso?"

"Mi hija pasa mucho tiempo en el Internet charlando con un muchacho de diecisÉis aÑos. Bueno, por lo menos eso dice Él. Ahora la quiere conocer. Ella estÁ muy entusiasmada. Yo tengo miedo. ¿QuÉ hago?"

"Acabo de enterarme que mi hija de doce aÑos fuma marihuana. ¿CÓmo la confronto?"

Vivir con un adolescente puede ser abrumador. A veces es como si nuestros niÑos cariÑosos se convirtieran de la noche a la maÑana en adolescentes independientes, con sus propios pensamientos, gustos y valores. Hoy en dÍa, los jÓvenes estÁn creciendo en un mundo mÁs cruel, mÁs materialista, mÁs sexual y mÁs violento que antes. ¿QuÉ se debe hacer?

Tras muchos aÑos de investigaciÓn, conferencias y comentarios que han recibido, Faber y Mazlish, autoras del clÁsico bestseller CÓmo Hablar para que los NiÑos Escuchen y CÓmo Escuchar para que los NiÑos Hablen, han desarrollado una innovadora forma de mantener un diÁlogo abierto y respetuoso entre padres y adolescentes, una estrategia que le pone frenos al conflicto, reduce frustraciones y fomenta conversaciones acerca de las drogas, el sexo y otros temas difÍciles y de actualidad.

Escrito en el estilo prÁctico y popular de estas galardonadas autoras, y lleno de sugerencias, historias y dibujos, esta guÍa le ayudarÁ a construir una relaciÓn mÁs comunicativa y menos conflictiva con sus adolescentes.

About the Author

From AudioFile

With parenting audios like this, one never knows whether to relax and enjoy or start taking notes. The two parenting celebrities are in rare form--reading alternately and being thoroughly comforting in a wise-woman sort of way. If you and your teen hate each other, they'll reassure you that you're not alone and that this too shall pass. The message is that predictable structure and high expectations are important and that time for uncritical sharing is essential. Delivering exactly what it promises, this audio is a mature lesson that will both relax and stimulate anyone going through the running-on-ice experience of raising a teenager.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last! Skills that work with teenagers!, March 2, 2006
By 
Diana D. DePalma (Long Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk (Hardcover)
Nineteen years ago I had reached the end of my "motherhood rope". The kids were fighting, whining, manipulating, throwing tantrums... just generally being "kids." But one day it just became way too overwhelming, so I left them home with their dad and escaped to the mall. While in the bookstore I couldn't help but notice an enticing book cover: "How To Talk So Kids Will Listen And Listen So Kids Will Talk." "That'll be the day!" I grunted, but walked across the aisle to page through the book... Inside I noticed what an easy read this book was for busy mothers like myself; cartoons showing me skills such as "Instead of nagging, try saying it with a word!" Interesting! I took the book home and that very skill was the first one I tried ----- and the first of many that worked! (Instead of nagging that we didn't own the electric company because I saw the bathroom light had been left on, I simply said "Lights!" and the kids actually jumped up to shut the light!)

Amazing!! I had to share this wonderful book with my friends at the PTA!! The PTA said "We'll sponsor a workshop if you lead it!" I agreed, and have been leading workshops based on the Faber/Mazlish series successfully for the past nineteen years. The only thing missing was help for the parents of teenagers, but thanks to the authors, that problem is now solved. The positive feedback on this book from parents in my classes has been heartwarming. Unruly, sullen teens were now taking the time to have conversations with their parents, agreeing to accompany families on vacations, cleaning their rooms, and getting haircuts!!! There was no end to the good news I was receiving in my classrooms! Is this book a magic bullet? A miracle cure to the teenage "attitude disease?" Wake up! There are no magic bullets, and anyone who has taken my class will tell you that I don't promise miracles, but I do promise calm. Could you use some "calm" in your home? Thanks to Adele and Elaine's revamping of Dr. Haim Ginott's teachings to fit the teenage years, you can breathe a little easier. Pick up a copy of this book and slowly start incorporating the skills into your home life; you won't be disappointed, I promise.

Isn't it time for you to experience the "calm?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great update to their solid earlier work, February 4, 2006
By 
This review is from: How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk (Hardcover)
I had just finished "How to Talk so Your Kids Will Listen..." when someone told me that this book had come out. Putting the lessons of the earlier book to work on the communications with my 8, 10 & 12 year olds was helping a lot. Less yelling, more communicating, actually solving some problems; welcome changes. So when I saw this at the local library I grabbed it.

It starts off with familiar material from the first book, but then goes further with more pertinent examples and sections about friends, and how to talk about sex and drugs.

I'm still the early stages of my journey with this material. But so far it's a much better way.

One more comment. This is unlike so many self-help books that go on and on about the problem before they get to anything practical. This book is 100% practical. From the first chapter there will be challenges and opportunities for you to improve your communication (with your kids or anyone else).

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful book by Faber and Mazlish, November 11, 2005
This review is from: How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk (Hardcover)
Another wonderful book by Faber and Mazlish. I love their helpful examples, this time from the lives of teen families. Easy to read and best of all, the ideas are immediately applicable. More than just tools and tricks, the work is based upon profound principles that make so much sense. And they make a compelling case for their many suggested alternatives to punishment -- all much more effective than prevailing ideas about so-called "discipline" and "logical consequences."
