Provides awareness and listening skills to bridge the gap between children and grown-ups in challenging situations.
Illustrated and written for parents to share with their children, this interactive communication book presents children with essential self-awareness skills and actions that support healthy emotional expression. The book includes a removable grown-up guide that provides models and rationale about how parents, care providers, and educators might listen and respond to children in a way that supports emotional release and restores a child&;s cooperative, creative thinking. The awareness and listening skills presented in this unique and child-friendly format help bridge the gap between children and grown-ups in challenging situations. The intent of the book is twofold: that children may find they have a few more options when their feelings get strong, and grown-ups may find that a certain kind of listening actually supports a child&;s efficient return to their natural state of harmony and cooperation.
