From the authors of the parenting classic HOW TO TALK SO KIDS WILL LISTEN & LISTEN SO KIDS WILL TALK comes a book dedicated to coping with incessantly fighting children. Packed with examples, tips, strategies, and more, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish provide a wealth of information about the difficulties of multiple-child homes and how to make a difference. This updated version has additional pages, as well as a section on kids who are home alone after school. With B&W cartoons.

There is a way to bridge the generation gap, say child experts Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, and the methods they describe in this book have been used by many parents. They teach communication and discipline without alienating kids and aggravating the problem. Undesirable behavior, they say, is often met with remarks that make children feel endangered or unloved. The authors, who have written several parenting books, including SIBLINGS WITHOUT RIVALRY, present scenarios and dialogues demonstrating common mistakes that exacerbate the problem. Topics addressed include coping with a child's negative feelings (such as anger or sadness), setting limits while maintaining good relations, and resolving family conflicts without waging war.
