DamGoode Bookclub 5) How to talk to kids so they will listen

It’s Book Club time again on Dam Parenting, and this month, Eva and Maren are joined by Elizabeth to dive into a parenting classic: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

First published over 40 years ago, this internationally bestselling parenting book has shaped how generations of parents approach communication with children—but how relevant are its methods today?

In this episode, the trio breaks down the book’s most powerful takeaways, what still resonates in the modern parenting landscape, and what might feel outdated in 2025. From active listening and emotion coaching to setting boundaries without yelling, they explore how the book’s tools can help parents create stronger, more respectful relationships with their children.

Whether you're new to gentle parenting or just need a refresh on better communication strategies, this episode offers practical insights, real reflections, and modern perspectives on a timeless parenting guide.
