Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish developed this book in response to constant requests to adapt the unique communications strategies that hallmark their books, lectures, and audiovisual workshops to specific concerns of the classroom. To do so, they teamed up with two award-winning teachers who well know the problems of our faltering school system. This book utilizes the dramatically effective "dialogue" technique (what to say and how and when to say it) that has made Faber and Mazlish's work famous worldwide. It also features engaging "right and wrong" cartoons that show how to handle typical learning situations so kids will be inspired to do their best. Each chapter includes questions and answers and stories from parents and teachers that illustrate how both have successfully used this method to help kids handle the schoolwork, behavioral, and peer problems that interfere with learning. In every chapter there is a one-page "quick reminder" that sums up that chapter's salient points for speedy reference. How To Talk So Kids Can Learn is truly a landmark book, sure to be eagerly welcomed by all parents and teachers who seek to inspire kids to be self-directed, self-disciplined, and responsive to the wonders of learning. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - obvious and done better by othersThe 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. 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Wonderful new way to parentThis 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 was skeptical at first, but as my wife and I tried it my childrens' attitudes changed towards us and towards each other. I would recommend this book to any parent. There is always something we can do better!! Rating: - Communication is the keyFaber 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. 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 need a copy for my shelf to re-read once in a while. I am a home-school mom with a difficult child (he is proud of it), and I also teach a co-op class of teenagers. I began applying techniques as I learned them with results that were surprising and quick. I could imagine the little cogs in their brains turning on the light in their eyes - if you are a teacher, you know how exciting that is! As a Christian raising Christian children, I ... Read More
