3 Takeaways:

Accepting kids’ negative feelings is vital to happy, healthy relationships.
Threatening kids is less effective for cultivating cooperation and creates a backwash of resentment.
It’s not easy to change how you speak to your kids! We naturally want to fix their problems.

Joanna Faber and Julie King are co-authors of How To Talk So LITTLE Kids Will Listen: A Survival Guide to Life with Children Ages 2-7, as well as the app Parenting Hero, and the soon-to-be-released app, Pocket Parent. Joanna and Julie lead workshops, consult with parents, and give lectures and parent education presentations across the United States and internationally.
