How to Talk to Kids

Communication in general is hard. Communication with kids is even harder. What do you say to your kids when you want to motivate them, get them to listen and cooperate without resorting to begging, scolding, lecturing, ordering, and threatening?

Authors of the fantastic book The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives Ned Johnson and Dr. William Stixrud are on the show today to talk about their new book: What Do You Say:How to talk to kids to build motivation, stress tolerance and a happy home.
