There is a way to bridge the generation gap, say child experts Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, and the methods they describe in this book have been used by many parents. They teach communication and discipline without alienating kids and aggravating the problem. Undesirable behavior, they say, is often met with remarks that make children feel endangered or unloved. The authors, who have written several parenting books, including SIBLINGS WITHOUT RIVALRY, present scenarios and dialogues demonstrating common mistakes that exacerbate the problem. Topics addressed include coping with a child's negative feelings (such as anger or sadness), setting limits while maintaining good relations, and resolving family conflicts without waging war.

I got this book as a required reading for an Intro to Psychology class. While it appears to be your typical, cheesy self-help books, it is far from it! This is one of the best books I have ever read. The techniques described are absolutely effective and full of wisdom! I have lent it to many of my friends and finally gave it to one...now I have to buy another copy so I can continue to be a library for it. There wasn't a single point with which I did not agree...and that just doesn't happen. :) I would suggest it to any one who has kids in their lives (yes, that includes aunties and uncles..and friends)
How often do you shop at Overstock.com? Few times a year
I had a 15 yr old daughter who became very disrespectful and angry at the world.. This book was recommended to me by Sister Joyce, who was teaching school at the time.. The concepts of this book were so easy to grasp and an eye opener to me.. it was a treasure to our relationship.. we are now very close and not a day goes by that she doesn't call and chatter..
