"New stories and strategies based on the bestseller How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk - respectful and effective solutions to the unending challenges of raising children ages two to seven. Faber and King, each a parenting expert in her own right, share their wisdom. With a lively combination of storytelling, cartoons, and fly-on-the-wall discussions from their workshops, they provide concrete tools and tips that will transform your relationship with the young kids in your life. What do you do with a little kid who won't brush her teeth, screams in his car seat, pinches the baby, refuses to eat vegetables, throws books in the library, runs rampant in the supermarket? This book is an essential first-aid manual of communication strategies, including a chapter that addresses the special needs of children with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorders. Forge rewarding, joyful relationships with terrible two-year-olds, truculent three-year-olds, ferocious four-year-olds, foolhardy five-year-olds, self-centered six-year-olds, and the occasional semi-civilized seven-year-old. Help little kids grow into self-reliant big kids who are cooperative and connected to their parents, teachers, siblings, and peers."--Provided by publisher.
