Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. To raise a happy child that wants to behave, you need to retrain yourself first. You need to change the way you think and react to their behavior. You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

Publisher's Summary
An all-new guide from the mega-best-selling How to Talk series applies trusted and effective communication strategies to the toughest challenges of raising children.
For 40 years, readers have turned to Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish’s How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, the book The Boston Globe called “the parenting Bible" for a respectful and practical approach to communication with children. Expanding upon this work, Adele’s daughter, Joanna Faber, along with Julie King, coauthored the best-selling book How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen. Now, Faber and King have tailored How to Talk’s tried-and-trusted communication strategies to some of the most challenging childhood moments.
From tantrums to technology to talking to kids about tough topics, How to Talk When Kids Won’t Listen offers concrete strategies for these and many more difficult situations.
Part one introduces listeners to the How to Talk “toolbox", with whimsical cartoons demonstrating the basic communication skills that will transform listeners’ relationships with children in their lives. In part two, Joanna and Julie answer specific questions and share relatable stories, offering practical tools for addressing issues such as homework hassles, sibling battles, digital dilemmas, problems with punishment, and more. Listeners can turn directly to any topic of interest and find the help they need, with handy “reminder pages".
Through the combination of lively stories from real parents and teachers, humorous illustrations, and entertaining exercises, How to Talk When Kids Won’t Listen offers real solutions to struggles familiar to every parent, grandparent, teacher, and anyone else who lives or works with children.

first book was better
They included some more stuff on screentime and talking about sex with kids, and incorporated some NVC skills instead of using punishments and discipline. Ultimately I found the original book, how to talk so little kids will listen, to be much more helpful. happy to see the NVC approach catching on though. that's non-violent communication for those who don't know what I mean, YouTube that, learning NVC will help you more than anything else!

- It Ain't Necessarily So

Hopeful and grateful Dad-to-be
I never wanted to be a dad. Mostly because I never wanted to be (like my father was) the policeman, the punisher. I had no conception of how parenting could be possible without punishment. Joanna and Julie have not only given me hope, but practical tools that make complete sense when thinking how I would want to be treated. I know in my bones (and tanned hide) that punishment made me resentful. The repeat offender rates of the US vs Europe also clearly show that protection works, but punishment does not. Why I didn't realize that the same should obviously apply to our children as well is beyond me.
For those struggling with thoughts like acknowledging feelings might be coddling kids, I thought of it in these terms: acknowledging is not the same as validating. By saying “You’re really upset that your balloon isn’t as good as your brother’s” you are stating what you think is true for your child at that moment. It tells them “I see the situation you are in (including some of the emotional stuff going on inside you)”. You aren’t making a judgement. So you are NOT saying:
- “You SHOULD feel that way”
- “If I were in your shoes, I’d feel the same way”
- “You have the best feelings. I wish everyone felt like you did”
You can think it's the dumbest thing to get upset about and still acknowledge that your child is upset. Does anyone really need our opinion on their feelings? The fact that you see what is going on and let your child know that you see it, is what helps.

Just like the other books
This book is more inclusive than the first books in this series because it mentions kids on the Autism spectrum, but other than that the information is pretty much the same.
