Summery of 'How to Talk'
If you listened to 'How to Talk', you don't need this one. A lot of stuff are the same.

For parents of toddlers
This is a good read for parents of toddlers and pre-teens. Not recommended for parents of teens.

For practical applications
This book is by far the best parenting book I have read. Many parenting books talk about why children behave and talk in certain ways without recommendations on what to do. This book is full of practical applications. I put ticket only liked various demonstrations of how things typically go versus what we could do differently. I would recommend this book to anyone who are struggling as to how to talk to their kids.

Good insight bad narration
The child's voice in the narration made me cringe and made it hard to listen too:)

great refresher!
I love this book. The comics help a lot. I know the scenarios all too well, and the conversations are so helpful as examples. It's also a short and sweet version of their other books How To TalK So Kids Will Listen.

These lessons apply to children and adults.
Key takeaways are to acknowledge others feelings (even if irrational) you can’t use adult logic and reasoning with young children. They haven’t developed this skill yet. Then set clear boundaries and be consistent at upholding them. Consistent feedback is key. They also highlight the importance of being calm, clear and non-judge mental. More like a coach or mentor rather than authority figure. You want to aim for mutual understanding and to help your kids self regulate. Not just compliance.

Excelente guía para comunicarse con otros, no solo niños. Me gustaría tener más libros de las autorías disponibles.
An excellent guide to communicate with people, not just with children. I would like to have more materials of these authors available in this platform.

Great highlight book
Not a full reading of any of their books but a good highlight reel or primer if you're wondering how they think.
