In relationships with your children, no matter what the age, as well as authority and educational coherence, it is essential that you know the rules of negotiating, in order to help them grow and also to reduce conflicts between you, the parents, and your children.
This book is designed as a practical aid for those problematic situations where negotiation can be used as an educational tool and can help improve relations with your children. Knowing how to negotiate with your children does not mean waiving the right to set rules and limits, instead it means developing good relationships, starting from the ability to find solutions together and identify shared objectives.
Starting with a few short stories of every-day conflict, the book provides practical tips and strategies for learning the techniques of negotiation, offering interpretations of conflicts and possible methods of constructive interaction between parents and children.
