Library Journal Review
The millions of people who read and reread the 1980 classic How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk will no doubt be thrilled with Faber and Mazlish's sequel. The original's theme and approach are applied to teenagers; parents can learn the conversational skills they need to help their teens grow up responsibly and make wise, safe decisions for themselves. There is also guidance on avoiding angry confrontations, door-slamming scenes, and punishments that fail to change behavior. Award-winning experts on adult-child communication, Faber and Mazlish are well aware of all the changes of the last 25 years-technologies that keep kids in constant touch with one another, how common it is for kids to casually "hook up," and the prevalence of bullying. One drawback: the same ugly little cartoon strips appear here as they did in the original, though granted, they make a point and supplement the easy-to-read text. An essential purchase for all libraries.-Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, PA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
