ADELE FABER and ELAINE MAZLISH tell how the principles of the famed child psychologist Dr. Haim Ginott have inspired their own highly successful child-care methods, used in parent workshops from coast to coast. Sharing their own and others' parenting experiences, Faber and Mazlish provide moving and convincing testimony to this approach, one which has proved to bring out the best in both children and parents. Find out how the mood in your home can change when you respond: To Feelings -- "A SCRATCH CAN HURT."

(Instead of) "Stop crying. It's only a scratch."

To Mishaps -- "THE MILK SPILLED. WE NEED A SPONGE."

(Instead of) "Now look what you did!"

To Misbehavior -"WALLS ARE NOT FOR WRITING ON. PAPER IS FOR WRITING ON."

(Instead of) "Bad boy! No more crayons for you!"

They also speak to the countless ways your use of language can,build self-esteem, inspire confidence, and encourage responsibility.
