For parents fed up with constant challenges to their authority-but
who dread becoming tyrants in their own homes-this book provides a
powerful new alternative to because I said so. Trusted family
therapist and author Michael P. Nichols takes on the number-one
problem of parents today with the insight and humor that has made
his earlier The Lost Art of Listening an enduring bestseller.
Presented is a simple, easy-to-follow, yet remarkably effective way
to put an end to arguments by refusing to argue back. Instead, the
techniques of responsive listening help parents open up better
communication in the family; create an atmosphere of respect and
cooperation; and take children's feelings into account-without
giving in to their demands. Loads of realistic examples help
parents defuse whining and defiance and manage common conflicts
with preschoolers to teens.
