Five Simple Tools to Meet Your Everyday Parenting Challenges

By: Patty Wipfler, Tosha Schore

Narrated by: Patty Wipfler

Listen introduces parents to five simple, practical skills even the most harried parent can use. These tools will help parents strengthen their connection with their child and help build their child's intelligence, cooperation, and ability to learn as they grow. The audiobook delivers detailed information, accompanied by more than 100 real-life stories from parents who've used this approach to address the root causes of their child's difficult behaviors.

Five surprising things parents will learn:

• You don't have to reward or punish willful children to get them to cooperate
• Aggressive kids are frightened kids, and there are simple tools to ease their fear so they don't need to lash out
• Your willingness to just listen to crying or tantrums, often is enough to heal a child's fears and hurts
• Safe play during which your kid becomes the boss, can reveal his hidden feelings - and heal them too
• Parents who regularly listen to one another's struggles, without judging or advising, often clear so much toxic emotion that their children benefit greatly

Great advice about children of all ages

Vital Adul conversation and Information about child development; well written and well performed. On par with Alice Miller's books, except more instructive.

Game changer

This book is incredible! I’ve read dozens of books on parenting and Listen blows them all out of the water! I have 4 boys and our home is more peaceful, more joyful and more connected because of simply changing my perspective and listening better! I recommend it for everyone- parents or not!

Foundational

I have read a lot of excellent books on how to better understand emotions and communicate with our children, but in many ways I feel I could have started and ended with this book. The information is foundational and the presentation makes it so simple to understand and digest. Highly recommend.

I've been wanting to read this for years

I'm so glad this is an audio book now. Listening to this book has been helpful, reassuring and well worth the investment of time. Simply listening is calming! Thank you

So useful

Loved it. Wonderful to hear Patty read it because tone of voice is so important. I've used these ideas as a parent and it made all the difference in our family's lives.
