Buggery arse, I've bought the wrong "how to talk etc" book!

Oh help - I've bought a book called "How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen" by Wright, H. Norman & Gary J. Oliver and I really don't like it, it's so horribly Christian and American! I suppose in essence some of it's ok but it really really annoyed me.

Was everyone meaning "How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk" by A. Feber and E. Mazlish instead?

Yes, I suspect so - it's v popular (and rightly so, imo) on here.

Oh bugger. So now I'm stuck with this crappy book and the one I want is out of stock on Amazon for the forseeable future - must be really popular!

Looks as if it's in stock to me - or do you want a specific version?

Cheers JackieNoHead (great name!), I have no idea what I was looking at then! See how easily these mistakes are made...

I think there's an older version that's out of stock (except for 2nd hand copies) - probably that one.
