How do teenagers listen to you and you listen to them when they talk?

Publisher: Al-Obeikan Library Number of pages: 287 Helped the international education experts Adel Faber and Ellen Mazlish millions of families in the past through their engaging and most resilient books (How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk), (Brothers Without Rivalry), and (Free Parents, Free Children), both return with a realistic and exciting book that addresses the sensitive issues faced by teenagers and their parents today. Faber and Mazlish, through years of research, lectures, and advice, developed an innovative method to reach an open, honest, and constructive dialogue based on mutual respect between parents and their teenagers. This strategy reduces the chances of conflict and frustration, and encourages ongoing communication about all issues faced by both parties, whether related to curfew, academic performance, sex, or drug use. The book, with Faber and Mazlish’s characteristic smooth style, reveals what happens in one of their distinguished workshops, and what families today face according to their teenage members and parents. This important work, supported by easily implementable suggestions, many stories, illustrated examples, and reminder pages, helps lay the foundation for a healthy relationship based on affection and mutual understanding instead of punishment and retaliation. Faber and Mazlish pave the way for parents — starting from traditional fears (bad friends, dating the opposite sex), to contemporary ones (parties with drinking and mischief, cyberbullying) — to address issues before they get out of control. The authors guide families, through their clear, warm, and friendly style, on how to communicate and create a supportive environment among each other during the turbulent teenage years.
