English Summary/英文概要： As children grow in this world, we need to provide them with tools and methods to ensure they are the best human beings they can be. The way we deal with our children’s difficult behaviour can speed up their ability to develop flexibility as well as patience. Talk Less Listen More provides parents with strategies and ideas on how to ensure children take responsibility for their actions and are able to determine what is appropriate behaviour. This book gives you behavioural management skills that will not only help deal with your child’s current issues, but also develop important life skills.

Michael Hawton provides examples, illustrations, maps, diagrams and practical information for parents to help them through turbulent times. Throughout the book, and through the learning of these new strategies, parents will work out what to do in the most challenging times and how to avoid them morphing into train wrecks. Written in everyday language, learn how to implement easy to use systems. The end result will be that children can assume better control of their actions and be able to monitor their behaviour more appropriately.

Talk Less Listen More is suitable for today’s modern family. Learn how to parent your children more gracefully with simple yet effective solutions, that will in turn, reduce stress levels and increase the level of harmony in your family life.
