Parents

will learn proven skills, such as how to set limits while

maintaining goodwill, cope with their child's negative

feelings, express anger without hurting, engage in their

child's willing cooperation, and help their child become

caring and responsible. Parents will also learn how to

resolve conflicts peacefully and create a family

atmosphere of love and respect.

"Parents

are on the firing line seven days a week. Yet few of them

have had any training for this demanding job. No wonder

even the most well-intentioned parents often find

themselves feeling frustrated, bewildered, guilty or

alone," said Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish,

award-winning authors of the book and program.

"The

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen workshop gives parents a

chance to learn practical new skills and exchange ideas

and experiences with each other," notes Monica

Drakes.

Hundreds of

thousands of parents and professionals have benefited

from "The How to Talk So Kids Will Listen"

workshop. In studies, one in Wisconsin, and the other in

Colorado and North Dakota, researchers found that

attending parents developed skills that

significantly--and lastingly--improved the quality of

their family life. They also found that these new-found

skills worked equally well with children of all ages.
