Not a bad book but not the best:
Not as good as "How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk"
Mother of one.:
I have been reading this book one chapter per week and talking with my five year old son about the suggestions given. We laugh and make it a fun role playing time. The subject matter is wonderfully on the money and the suggestions for talking or explaining to your child are very enlighting and helpful. A good buy and a really helpful book.
Not that helpful:
It just didn't click with the challanges that we are trying to address.
Parent in California review:
Ms. Cohen's book fills a niche- there aren't many clearly written books available that include experiential exercises for parents struggling with this difficult issue. Raise Your Child's Social IQ provides parents with practical tools and provides a means for them to partner with their children. Thank you!
