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.
