The book introduces a structured problem-solving approach to address persistent behavioral issues. This method involves discussing the child's feelings and needs, expressing the parent's feelings and needs, brainstorming mutually agreeable solutions, writing down all ideas without evaluating them, and then deciding on the best course of action. This collaborative approach not only resolves conflicts but also teaches children valuable problem-solving skills. For example, a mother struggling with her son's chronic lateness used this method to understand his perspective and together they devised a plan that worked for both of them. 'We are teaching our children that they needn’t be our victims or our enemies.' | Adele Faber | How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk
