Product Description
p iWhy do I have to repeat everything? Why does every conversation end in an argument? /i /p p Communicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting. When did it become so difficult? And how do we begin to change it for the better? /p p This book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas: The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad irelationships/i between parents and children. The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change. /p p In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: icherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous/i. As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures. /p i10 Conversations/i will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.

 Fantastic parenting resource! November 24, 2008
Cathryn Harjung (Elkton, MD)
Even though my three children are between 14 and 22, I found this book an extremely valuable parenting resource. I have used the many examples that Rabbi Boteach provides for addressing sensitive topics and they have worked! I appreciate his non-confrontational approach and his goal: peace within the home. I highly recommend this book!
 10 conversations July 10, 2008
Jonathan J. Peterson (Wisconsin)
Great book, really helps you get perspective on what kind of people you want your kids to be. I liked it because it reinforced my own beliefs and helped articulate some thoughts I had about parenting. 10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children
It's All About Communication ! June 4, 2008
My Views (California)
This is such an important topic to address in our busy 24/7 world. Raising healthy and happy children requires that we have that special relationship with them where the communication gates are open wide. A must conversation that every parent must have should address the issue of bullying...which is so prevalent. Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying is a fabulous must-read book for every parent on raising empowered children who will never become bullies or victims.
Beautiful book! Need to read it again! May 29, 2008
Anon (New Orleans)
This is a great book! I read it all and now I want to go back and read each individual chapter. This is more than a parenting book--it will really help you reflect our your own life. The writing is non-judgemental and easy to read. The author comes off as very friendly. I don't agree with the reviewer that says the religious chapter at the end ruins the book. It has a base in Judiasm but comes across as more spirtually based that can be applied to any religion you are. I am a psych nurse and have used these techniques in dealing with my adult inpatients so the information is very transferable to all aspects of your own life, not just your life as a parent. br /This is a great book!
Valuable parenting tool May 26, 2008
Jennifer Reed (West Chester, PA)
I must admit that I am a bit biased towards Rabbi Shmuley - I am a huge fan of his TV and XM radio show. I found this book to be yet another example of Shmuley giving practical pointers that truly help parents navigate in this crazy world where many people seem to be traveling w/out rudders or sails! The book is not going to tell you something you don't know....but it is written in a way that helps you articulate important, sound, common sense advice to your kids. I am already incorporating several of his suggestions into our home, and it is definitely reaching my children. These are important conversations that all parents should be having with their families!!
