How To Talk When Kids Won’t Listen with Joanna Faber & Julie King

A brand-new addition to the beloved and bestselling How To Talk series, focused specifically on communication strategies for childhood’s most challenging moments.

Since 1980, millions of parents have relied on Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish’s timeless How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk—hailed by the Boston Globe as the “parenting Bible”—for practical advice on communicating effectively and empathetically with children. In 2017, Adele’s daughter, Joanna Faber, along with Julie King, published the bestselling How to Talk So LITTLE Kids Will Listen, applying the same trusted techniques to the particular challenges of parenting young children.

Now, Faber and King apply the “How to Talk” communication strategies to some of the most difficult challenges of raising children, from tantrums to technology to homework hassles, sibling squabbles, and tough topics like sex or divorce. Readers can jump directly to the chapter on their most urgent issue and find concrete solutions to common conflicts.

Building on core themes of mutual respect, Faber and King offer thoughtful, constructive, and sympathetic alternatives to yelling or punishment. With its lively combination of real-life anecdotes, entertaining cartoons, and answers to topics requested by readers, HOW TO TALK WHEN KIDS WON’T LISTEN is an invaluable resource for every parent, grandparent, teacher, and anyone else who lives or works with children—coming after a year in which adults and kids alike have been through so much.
