What Customers Say About How to Talk So Kids Can Learn: At Home and In School:

Although the cartoon format seems dated, the messages are universal and whenever I find myself struggling with a difficult child or a difficult class, I go back to this book for insight. I give it to teachers I work with for the same reasons. As a veteran teacher and a mentor for new teachers, I have purchased this book four times. It was given to me by a veteran teacher when I was a beginner and struggled with classroom management to help me learn how to reach kids.

I will love the opportunity rate it when I get it.Deborah Woodley253-223-7422 I am waiting on this book. I did not receive my book in the mail. I was rip off.

The examples of how to respond to the kids don;t seem genuine and are in many cases impractical.If you still want to explore these ideas check out Teaching With Love and Logic: Taking Control of the Classroom, it does a much better job at presenting almost the same material in a much better way. The theories and ideas presented by this book are great, but the way they are presented completely turns me off to their ideas. It seems to be presented in a fantasy world and while the teacher in the book still struggles with how to implement these ideas, it does not feel like real experiences.

I would recommend this book to any parent. I was skeptical at first, but as my wife and I tried it my childrens' attitudes changed towards us and towards each other. There is always something we can do better. This book has helped us in so many ways. It is a guide to a new way of parenting your children that does not involve yelling, threats, or violence.

I especially liked the comics which demonstrated a good use of visuals aka Carol Gray's Social Stories to show the intricacies of effective communication.I have recommended this to teachers and parents as a means of understanding that "How" we communicate to children is as important as "What" we communicate. Faber and Mazlish do a great job of walking the reader through the maze of steps to effectively communicate with children. This book focuses on how teachers can improve their communication skills just like their previous one, How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk, looks at how to improve parental communication.
