Liberated Parents, Liberated Children
by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
The book before How to Talk So Kids Will Listen: Faber and Mazlish's own experience in Haim Ginott's parent groups, told as narrative. It is warmer and more personal than the famous manual and shows the method being learned.
Read it if…

Skip it if…

Three things you will actually use
- Acknowledge feelings before anything else.
- Describe, do not evaluate.
- Parents need liberation too.
Do this first
Read the chapter on feelings and try acknowledging one before solving it.
Our verdict
