A practical guide that translates parent–child communication research into clear, usable techniques for motivating children and removing everyday obstacles to learning. Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish offer a friendly, example-driven approach for adults who support children's education.

Short dialogues, cartoons, and step‑by‑step examples model respectful responses that encourage cooperation, self-discipline, curiosity and a positive attitude toward school. Emphasis is on language adults can use immediately at home and in the classroom.

Recommended for parents, teachers, counselors and caregivers who want concrete phrasing and routines that foster independence and engagement in learners of school age.
