Parent Talk: How to Talk to Your Children in Language That Builds Self-Esteem and Encourages Responsibility

The right words for every situation.

Do you find yourself in those maddening situations where you sound like a broken record when talking to your child? Your preschooler wonâ€™t decide what she wants to wear, regardless of how many times you insist that she just choose; your struggling third grader says â€œI can't do math,â€ and your â€œSure you can!â€ reassurance falls like a dead weight; your daughter smears on black eyeliner just before the bus arrives, and your daily protests are muted by hers.

Whatâ€™s left to say? Lots.

In Parent Talk, a must-have for every parent with a preschool to high school-age child, Chick Moorman tells you what to say so that you can communicate more effectivelyâ€”and peacefullyâ€”with your child in every circumstance, including:

-The morning mad dash to dress, eat, and leave the house on time
-The nightly struggle to focus on homework
-The endless car ride of exhaustion-induced whining
-The meltdown in the mall

For instance, Moormanâ€™s antidote to the â€œI canâ€™tâ€ loop is â€œAct as if youâ€™ve done this before.â€ With Moormanâ€™s help, youâ€™ll learn the words to use and the words to avoid to end power struggles and the fruitless conversation loops youâ€™re stuck in.
