Believe it or not, it really is possible to talk so that both children and teens will listen. Sometimes, however, you probably feel like you communicate with each other from opposite ends of the solar system! When it comes time to deal with tattoos, body piercings, strange clothing, curfews and even the subject of contraception, you'll need to be able to get through to them on their level. How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen will help you speak their language, taking the frustration out of interactions with your kids and allowing you to build a bond that will even last through the "terrible teens." Let Norm Wright provide you with an understanding of childspeak and teenspeak, those mysterious languages that are normally so elusive to parents. These principles of parent-child communication are time-tested and proven approaches that result in a vastly improved relationship -- and a chance to open the door into your child's heart.
