I sent out an email that our September book club will be held Thursday, September 19th. But I think I'm going to change it to Wednesday, September 18th, because Mutual is on Thursday nights. It will be at 8:00 at my home, 6804 West Marie Jonsson Circle.
Our book is How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. Used copies on Amazon start as low as $5.80 and on Half.com there are some older editions that start as low as $0.75. There is also a CD at the Highland Library if anyone's interested in listening to the book.
A little disclaimer, of course in the book all the scenarios always turn out good, but hopefully there's a few things you can take from the book that will help you when communicating with others. Also, you don't have to have young kids to read this book. I used some of the listening skills I learned from it when talking to my sister who had a problem and it helped. I'm hoping people can finish the book a few weeks before our September book club and try out some of the methods. That way when we meet together we can discuss what ideas worked with our kids (or others) and what didn't.
Thanks,
Emily
