Voice Lessons for Parents

More about the book

"Most parents are perfectly fine communicators--unless they're talking to their children. Then, too often, their pitch rises and they come across as pleading, indignant, wounded, outraged. In tone and body language they signal, 'I can't handle it when you act like a child.' Observing this pattern with her patients, Dr. Wendy Mogel developed a remarkably effective series of "voice lessons" for parents who were struggling with their kids. The results were immediate: A shift in vocal style made the children calmer. They listened more attentively and communicated with more warmth, respect, and sincerity. In "Voice lessons for parents", Mogel elaborates on her novel clinical approach, revealing how each age and stage of a child's life brings new opportunities to connect through language."-- Provided by publisher
