This book is about how parents talk to their children. It reveals verbal communication that scolds, shames, and criticizes as well as words which praise, nurture, and empower children. It includes the typical comments, suggestions, questions, and commands that parents direct at their children every day. In addition to exploring the ways parents talk to their children, Parent Talk also examines the underlying messages that accompany the spoken word.
Your choice of words, and your style of communication, are critical to the self-esteem, emotional health, and personal empowerment of your children. There is an undeniable link between the words you speak and the attitudes and outcomes children create in their lives. By intentionally selecting words and phrases that build self-esteem and encourage self-responsibility, you can empower your children and enhance their effectiveness as capable, caring human beings.
