The Magic Book: Practical Guide to Family Harmony

The child is supposed to clear the table but doesn’t want to, and before you know it, tempers are flaring. You’re probably familiar with scenes like this from your own family life. This is exactly where Hanna Grubhofer’s book comes in.

Hanna Grubhofer is a mother of seven, a psychologist, a trainer in Non-Violent Communication, a mediator and a family coach. Her first book, *Zauberbuch Familienfrieden*, was praised for its clear structure and practical applicability by both beginners and those experienced in NVC. With *“The Magic Book of Family Peace: Practical Guide”*, she builds on this: 156 pages packed with practical examples for dealing with children, teenagers and adults.

The aim is to phrase requests in such a way that they are understood, to uncover and resolve misunderstandings, to express yourself openly and to listen to the feelings that are actually behind the other person’s words. There’s no longer any need for ‘you must’ demands or ‘if you don’t, then…’ statements. In a focused manner and with plenty of concrete examples, Grubhofer guides you through everyday family life, particularly in those situations where your existing vocabulary is no longer sufficient.

In addition, there are simple yet profound exercises for everyday life, which allow you to actively apply this theoretical knowledge to your own life and embed it there.
