How to talk so children will listen to us, 2.

Advice for parents of children aged 2 to 18

Do you want to have a friendly relationship with your children and at the same time want them to listen to you, respect you and trust you? Do you want to raise your children well, but do not want to suppress their personality? Praised by child psychologists, psychotherapists and parents around the world, this book will teach you how to have good children without punishment and yelling.

In the book you will find:

• How to foster healthy self-confidence in children, but not raise them to be spoiled individuals.
• How can we achieve friendly cooperation with children and teach them to be independent.
• Exercises in which you become aware of the mistakes you may be making when dealing with your child.
• Instead of explaining the ban at length, how can we help the child to fulfil his/her wish, at least in imagination (to make it easier for him/her to accept the ban and avoid conflict).
• Questions that allow you to put yourself in the child's shoes to better understand his behaviour.
• A series of true stories with typical situations from everyday life.
• Sample dialogues shown in cartoon scenes.
• How to react when a child comes to you with a problem and how to solve the problem.
• Inspiration also for dealing with interpersonal relationships between adults and for boosting the self-esteem of less assertive individuals.

The methods can be applied to any age group. The authors are internationally renowned experts on communication between children and adults, and have written several international bestsellers on the subject. This book is one of them. It has been adapted for Czech readers by child psychologist Mgr. Jana Vysloužilová.
