Practical words for everyday parenting questions

Organized around common childhood questions and family flashpoints, Betsy Brown Braun’s guide offers parents sample scripts and tips for responding to topics ranging from sibling rivalry and food struggles to death, divorce, and sex. The examples include both direct questions about how babies are born and familiar protests such as “It’s not fair!” Its scope connects routine household conflicts with larger conversations children may raise as they grow. Braun draws on her background as a child development specialist and parent educator, as well as her experience as a mother of triplets, to frame this practical guide to talking with children.
