Book name: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids will TalkI recently finished reading this book, which was written by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, back in year 1980. Even when I was half way reading the book, I kept recommending this book to my colleagues and friends, because I think it's really good and helpful for parents. I really like the skills and methods it taught us in the book, how to deal with the kids. It's really important to respect the kids and understand their feeling. I suppose everyone likes to be respected, and most adults think "kids are kids, they are too young to understand", which I think is not the way. Sometimes I think my 7 month old baby does understand me too, don't underestimate them. Actually the skills learned from the book can also be applied to other relationship, such as parents, lovers, colleagues or friends. Those are some interpersonal skills which emphasize on respect and understanding. The book was written in a simple and easy to understand manner, it consists of many examples so it makes us easier to understand and keeps practicing in our daily lives, and we can slowly make them a habit. I always think before we want to educate others, we should firstly educate ourselves. If we have made ourselves a better person, we can always influence the people around us. It'll bring happiness to ourselves and others too.
