Calm Communication with Kids: Listen, Connect and Set Limits Kindly

Calm Communication with Kids is a practical guide to everyday communication with children, from toddler meltdowns to teenage silences. It gives you the words and steps for the moments that repeat in every family: getting cooperation without nagging, listening so children open up, coaching them through big feelings, setting limits without shouting, and solving recurring problems together.

It is for parents, step-parents, grandparents and carers of children aged about 2 to 18. The methods draw on well-established research and parenting programs, explained in plain language, with separate advice for young children, school-age children and teenagers. It is honest about what the evidence shows, and it includes clear guidance on when to seek professional help.
