DamGoode Bookclub 5) Does "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen" Still Work in 2026?

It is a parenting staple found on almost every expat’s bookshelf, but does How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk actually work in the chaos of 2026? In this episode of the DamGoode Bookclub, Eva, Maren, and Elizabeth take a warm, honest, and direct look at the communication strategies made famous by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

We break down the book’s core pillars—like acknowledging feelings, inviting cooperation, and finding alternatives to punishment—and discuss how these tools translate to our lives as international parents. We explore what still resonates, what feels a bit dated, and how to use these techniques to build a relationship based on mutual respect rather than control. Whether you’ve read the book cover-to-cover or just want the "cheat sheet" for better communication, join us for a deep dive into talking so your kids—finally—listen.
