how to talk so little kids will listen

作为How to经典的姊妹篇，本书由作者的女儿Joanna Faber与Julie King联手，把沟通技巧精准落到两到七岁这个阶段。它最打动人的地方，在于没有停留在'接受情绪、规范行为'这类老生常谈，而是把具体场景——吃饭、睡觉、兄弟姐妹争宠——拆解成可操作的动作。不少读者反馈，书中' playful'（游戏化）这一招尤其管用：与其和孩子硬碰硬，不如用轻松的方式化解对抗。它像一套随手可取的育儿工具箱，适合已经读过经典、想再往前一步的家长。当然也有声音提醒：部分应用章节略显重复，新观点不算多。但对你毫无头绪的当下，它仍能提供实打实的抓手。
