What’s it about?

Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish get to the root of one of the deepest behavioral and communication problems that parents have with their children, which is handling emotions. Parents have a habit of swooping in and taking control of any problem that arises with their child before the child has a chance to process the issue alone and learn how to handle it. Faber and Mazlish present an alternative approach: they seek to help parents guide their kids through emotional distress without taking the reins.
