"Gottman picks up where Ginot and Faber & Maslich leave off; what is new here is that Gottman rolls out the research about the long-term well-being of children who are "emotion-coached." He also adds a section about how parental conflict and divorce can be mitigated by emotion-coaching. I probably should give it a higher rating except that these ideas aren't new to me, since I've read Ginot and Faber & Maslich, as well as parts of Gottman's marriage books. So this didn't seem as life-clarifying as those earlier works did."
"A must-read parenting book. He offers a wonderful discussion of the importance of parenting our children's emotions. The book offers examples, self-assessment quizzes, and is centered around five steps to becoming an emotion coach. Because so much of the work that I do as a therapist is with individuals who present with problems because they do not know how to recognize, name, and effectively cope with their emotions, I believe strongly in the merit of this type of book. As valuable as the book is, he does not set out to offer much in the way of discipline strategies. Reading this book along with "Parenting with Love and Logic" makes for a nice combo."
"An enlightening parenting guide. Basically, it says to recognize and discuss your child's feelings. This will help them to recognize their own feelings and deal with them rather than suppress them or act out. It emphasizes the specific importance of fathers and mothers, as distinct influences on their children."
"This book helped change the way I thought about interacting with our child, and how I communicate with adults as well. It focuses on helping your child learn to communicate what they are feeling, and when they do, there will be fewer tantrums and anger. It was a fascinating read to look at how communication can affect my relationship with my child."
