Summary:
"If you're a parent, you've had a moment--maybe many of them--when you've thought, '
How
did that conversation go so badly?' At some point after the sixth grade, the same kid who asked 'why' non-stop at age four suddenly stops talking to you. And the conversations that you wish you could have--ones fueled by your desire to see your kid not just safe and healthy, but passionately engaged--suddenly feel nearly impossible to execute. The good news is that effective communication can be cultivated, learned, and taught. And as you get better at this, so will your
kids
." --From publisher.
