Ten Talks Parents Must Have with Their Children about Violence

Summary: Ten Excellent Talks!
Review: Finally! A great book to help parents talk to kids. I bought copies for all my sisters with children! The book is nicely designed... it doesn't read like a textbook... and has practical knowledge and suggestions. It's really a great aid for parents - not a 'tell you how to raise your kids' lecture. The illustrated activities are a great way to break the ice with your kids!

Summary: Perfect Ten for Ten Talks!
Review: Rarely do I make an effort to recommend a book, but this is one all parents should read. I have a teenage boy and I was having some difficulty communicating with him about what's been going on in the news...school shootings, hate crimes, etc. A friend told me about this book and it has really helped me find a constructive way to talk to my kid. Lots of great insight, lots of great scenarios, lots of useful tips on how I can be a more effective parent. I have already told a number of my friends about it and hope they will find it as useful as I did. Go get it now.

Summary: Read the Fine Manual
Review: Step by step strategies in clear language that get to some essential practical techniques to carry on a dialog about violence. As a parent I know it can be difficult to understand how to start to talk with children to get through to them. This book offers useful variations. When all else fails, read the manual!

Thanks to Dominic Cappello for the cool coaster that came with my copy!

Summary: Parents are the experts!
Review: The philosophy of Ten Talks is that parents are experts and with the right resources they can become the key providers of violence prevention education. It's been gratifying to hear from parents who are using Ten Talks. Many moms and dads (and grandparents, uncles, aunts and teachers) report that through the course of using Ten Talks'activities, children are sharing their experiences involving violence at school, the playground and via the internet and TV. Some of the most surprising responses have come from children as young as six years old.

Ten Talks is helping families discuss their concerns and their family rules. I look forward to hearing from parents, youth and educators on how they are using Ten Talks to develop strategies for coping with potentially violent situations and how communities are joining together to make neighborhoods safer. I appreciate the comments from readers and welcome feedback.
