It was honestly really amazing to read some pages of the book one night, find an opportunity to apply a lesson from it in a situation the next day, and then see immediate results when the conversation would go in positive direction that I maybe would have screwed up otherwise.
We found that Faber and Mazlish books are really good and grounded in real life situations. These helped us quite a lot.
This book has been life-changing with regards to my relationship with my 3-year-old. It also changed the way I communicate with adults.
