Publisher's Summary

Listen introduces parents to five simple, practical skills even the most harried parent can use. These tools will help parents strengthen their connection with their child and help build their child's intelligence, cooperation, and ability to learn as they grow. The audiobook delivers detailed information, accompanied by more than 100 real-life stories from parents who've used this approach to address the root causes of their child's difficult behaviors.

Five surprising things parents will learn:

  • You don't have to reward or punish willful children to get them to cooperate
  • Aggressive kids are frightened kids, and there are simple tools to ease their fear so they don't need to lash out
  • Your willingness to just listen to crying or tantrums, often is enough to heal a child's fears and hurts
  • Safe play during which your kid becomes the boss, can reveal his hidden feelings - and heal them too
  • Parents who regularly listen to one another's struggles, without judging or advising, often clear so much toxic emotion that their children benefit greatly

Best Parenting Book

This one is a must. These are core skills that support a healthy, loving, warm relationship with your child. I absolutely loved this book and all the examples she offers on how to use the tools makes the learning so accessible right away. I think the best part of this book on audible is that Patty narrates it and her voice is such a gift. It is so kind and gentle and the words just soak in ❤️

Painful

One of the most painful books I’ve ever read. Which is sad because 10% of it is a good message. Of the 130 examples given 2 applied to middle school girls, 2 applied to school age kids, and all the rest applied to really young kids. By the time my son was 2 these examples of what to do would have just insulted him, upset him, and made him retreat from me. Instead I highly recommend you read Brain-Based Parenting or the works of Stuart Shanker.
