As adults, we know what a gift music is, especially the gift of being able to create our own music and express ourselves in this way. And we want that for our kids. But there's this thing called "practicing" the musical instrument. And kids don't always want to do this! Co-authors of How to Talk When Kids Won't Listen, Joanna Faber & Julie King answer the question: How should teachers and parents talk when kids won't listen about practicing, and practicing becomes the subtitle of their new book: Whining, Fighting, Meltdowns, Defiance, and other Challenges of Childhood?! We are giving away a free copy of this book to one of you!
