I read this because I am taking a religion class where I have to work on my language for 5 weeks. I decided to go beyond just eliminating negative language and to try to embrace language that will build and strengthen others. I liked the opening chapters. There are lots of good quotes and the author really helped me to internalize how important language is in raising our children. Once we got to the 10 things I quickly remembered...oh man, this is a self-help book and I don't like self-help books. I was a little bored in those chapters with the stories and heroic examples of how I could be so much more effective and robotic in the way I speak to my children, but like I said, I do not like self-help books. There were still some good ideas and quotes throughout and I did like the chapter on saying yes as well as the questions at the end of each chapter to help the reader evaluate how they ranked at that particular skill and where they could improve. I will say that this helped me to be more aware of what I do say and what I could say so I liked it, just wish self-help authors could learn to present their material in a less self-helpy way.

This was a great book and I will probably read it again someday. At first I just read quickly through the 10 things (thinking I could just cut to the chase and start saying these phrases to my kids at breakfast), but therein lies the problem, right? The parent who wants the quick answer instead of stopping & listening....! And the stopping & listening seems to be the key - - in order to develop the relationship you always thought you'd have with you kid, it takes work, time & your attention. It opened my eyes to that, but I know that these lessons will require continual refreshers!

This is a wonderful book! I will be coming back to this one many more times I am sure. I want to be more intentional with building strong relationships with my kids and this book has so many great tips and ideas. The whole book was great but I also felt the end section, "ideas into action", had some really helpful examples of ways to communicate. Overall, the author made me more aware of how I talk and listen to my kids (and my husband) and motivated me to be intentional and build my kids up in a meaningful way.

I really felt this book was relevant to my life. It is a book for parents but can work in any relationship. My advice is for young parents to get it ASAP and start the communication now. I particularly like the problem solving communication technique found in the "Let's agree to.." chapter. What a great tool to teach your children and yourself how t communicate through a problem. I am also trying to apply the techniques in my marriage.

[Valleri · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a very uplifting, though at times wordy, book that parents and caregivers of small children (and even teenagers) can use to bridge the gap in communication and help children gain a better sense of self-confidence. The author encourages the reader to set aside time to reconnect and visibly take interest in the lives of their young charges.

[Viviann · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book can apply to so many relationships. I loved the ideas and insights the author has. It's a short fast read. Well worth reading. There are too many parenting books and this author is like the readers digest version of some.

[Ricardo Flores · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me puso a pensar cómo somos las personas cuando hablamos por hablar y no nos damos cuenta de lo que estamos programando en la cabeza de los niños principalmente pero también de las personas adultas con las que convivimos

[Dana · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book- there are so many great tips and ideas of how to interact better with your kids. Every parent and grandparent can benefit from it. It is well worth your time. I plan to refer back to it in the future.

Great reminders of how to improve our relationships with our kids

[Bridgette · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very fast read with wonderful advice!

[Pat · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick read, good reminder that our words can affect others (especially the smallest ones) more than we think. Keep your words sweet, you may have to eat them.

[Ashly Marquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Muy bien explicado que decir a los pequeños y por que

[Alaase Mahalah · Rating 3 out of 5]

What I appreciated most about this book was the realistic tone. So many of us are ill trained in the art of productive conversing with are kids. Our guts tell us the methods of our parents were at best counter-productive, yet we find ourselves falling into this patterns. Paul Axtell exams the most commonly used phrases parents say to their kids with "No" being at the top of the list. He speaks on why these phrases dominate our conversations with our kids and offers replacement phrases and exercises to help cultivate the relationship you want with your little people!
