How to Say It to Your Kids: The Right Words to Solve Problems, Soothe Feelings, & Teach Values

Paul Coleman, a psychologist, family therapist, and dad, has tackled 100 of the toughest subjects you'll ever confront as a parent. From divorce to peer pressure to sex to teasing, his A-to-Z format is easy to access, and each topic is broken down into manageable sections: an anecdote to illustrate how the topic might come up, a handful of related, at-a-glance facts, “How to Say It” (with exact words for examples), and “How Not to Say It” (again, with exact words to act as guidance). The chapters are short — just a few pages each — so you can dip in and out of this book over the course of years, borrowing just the right words when you need them most.
