Customer Reviews

Let's talk about....

I really enjoy and recommend the entire "Let's Talk About..." series. They are above all concise and make it easy for you to explain to your child WHY a particular behavior is bad and shouldn't be continued. Bear in mind, however, that a child under four isn't really going to get it anyway and probably won't retain the information, so you may as well be talking to a wall. I recommend these for preschool and young elementary school age children. Any younger and they won't understand it, any older and they will (correctly) feel that these are "baby books."

another good self help book by Joy Berry

5/22/03 The book " Needing Attention"(copyright 1996) explains to the child(ren) why they might feel the need to get attention;reviews the wrong ways they might do so(e.g. complaining,tattling,teasing) and the right ways to get attention without actually saying the words "I'd like some attention".Some of the others(now out of print by Berry from the "Help Me Be Good Series"copyright 1988) use the same method in helping the child(ren) to understand ways to correct such habits as individual books on Tattling,Lying,Interrupting,Throwing Tantrums,Teasing,Fighting,Breaking Promises,Being Bossy,Being Bullied..There are more to the out-of print series which can sometimes "show-up" at community flea markets as did the ones I purchased.

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book.Buy it before it goes out of print! I have two books in this series and would like to purchase more but they are OUT OF PRINT.This is one of the few books that teaches children about developing good character traits without being preachy or condescending (or resorting to "fairy tales" - - things that happened in a faraway place and time which have no bearing on today). The children can relate and they enjoy the stories.

excellant
