017 | How to Talk When Kids Won't Listen with Julie King & Joanna Faber

Today I'm so honored to be joined by Julie King and Joanna Faber who are the authors of two of my favorite books, How to Talk When Kids Won’t Listen and How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen. With no exaggeration, these two books have totally transformed not only my parenting journey, but also my time in the classroom and as a summer camp director.    In this episode, we cover:  Joanna and Julie’s journeys of parenthood and the ways they were humbled along the way Giving yourself lots of grace and so many chances to try again  The connection between how kids (and adults) feel and how they behave Focusing on problem solving over punishment  Teaching our kids how to address conflict in a healthy way so that we can respect needs and feelings of all people  Suggestions on ways to inspire play between you and your kids How this approach affects (and helps!) the teenage years with kids    Connect with Joanna and Julie: Check out their website Book: How to Talk When Kids Won’t Listen [affiliate link] Book: How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen [affiliate link] Book: Siblings Without Rivalry [affiliate link] Check out their two apps: How to Talk and Parenting Hero   Resources & Links: Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!
