This book isn't just for helping communication between you and your children, this book also helped me communicate and compromise better with my husband, stopped a lot of arguments in their tracks. Can't speak highly enough of it. ( )

I just began what I think is the first book my mother has ever recommended to me (I'm 44 and she's never been much of a reader). This got me to thinking what other books I read because she had them around the house. Some Al-Anon propaganda, maybe some Erma Bombeck, What Color Is Your Parachute? and this (not that I know whether she read it) are the few titles I know she owned. I remember marveling as a child at the pat situations the author used to illustrate his principles. At 12 I saw how useless and facile he was. Anyway, for completeness, I hereby note the title
