Book excerpt: A guide to effectively communicating with teenagers by the bestselling authors of The Self-Driven Child If you're a parent, you've had a moment--maybe many of them--when you've thought, "How did that conversation go so badly?" At some point after the sixth grade, the same kid who asked "why" non-stop at age four suddenly stops talking to you. And the conversations that you wish you could have--ones fueled by your desire to see your kid not just safe and healthy, but passionately engaged--suddenly feel nearly impossible to execute. The good news is that effective communication can be cultivated, learned, and taught. And as you get better at this, so will your kids. William Stixrud, Ph.D., and Ned Johnson have 60 years combined experience talking to kids one-on-one, and the most common question they get when out speaking to parents and educators is: What do you say? While many adults understand the importance and power of the philosophies behind the books that dominate the parenting bestseller list, parents are often left wondering how to put those concepts into action. In What Do You Say?, Johnson and Stixrud show how to engage in respectful and effective dialogue, beginning with defining and demonstrating the basic principles of listening and speaking. Then they show new ways to handle specific, thorny topics of the sort that usually end in parent/kid standoffs: delivering constructive feedback to kids; discussing boundaries around technology; explaining sleep and their brains; the anxiety of current events; and family problem-solving. What Do You Say? is a manual and map that will immediately transform parents' ability to navigate complex terrain and train their minds and hearts to communicate ever more successfully.

Download or read book When Hurting Turns To Anger written by Rosalyn Anstine Templeton and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning: If you are a teacher who believes that kids need to be punished in order to curb their angry misbehavior, this book is not for you. For the rest of us teachers who struggle daily with trying to teach kids with anger issues, When Hurting Turns to Anger: Helping Students is the book for you. Dr. Anstine Templeton's mentor Dr. Nick Long taught his graduate students that forewarned is forearmed. That is what using the anger reducing techniques (ART) shared in When Hurting Turns to Anger does for educators, administrators, counselors, and school personnel""it forearms adults from becoming reactive to students' anger. What is ART? It is a seven-step process that helps students talk about their anger and learn ways to handle strong emotions effectively, before they reach the crisis stage. Therefore, ART can be used with any students, in any school. The theory is students can learn skills to handle their anger productively in school rather than becoming overwhelmed, losing control, and cycling into crises. Using anger reducing techniques educators learn to - control their own anger, - look beyond the students' inappropriate behaviors, - calm out of control students, - get students to talk about their problems, - show students how to create plans of success, - teach students how to make amends for misbehavior, and - hold students accountable for following their success plans. Internalizing the anger reducing techniques, students learn that - kids have a right to learn, - kids may not take learning away from others, - it's okay to feel angry, - it's not okay to act out anger inappropriately, - there are many ways to productively deal with anger, - teachers can teach how to problem solve, - it's a must to have a plan of success, - kids must make amends for any hurt they have caused, and - they will be held responsible for following their success plans. In an easy to learn process, Rosalyn Anstine Templeton shows how to master anger that frees teachers to teach students self-control, how to use anger effectively to succeed, and ways to make amends.

This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Before I read How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, my communication with my children left a lot to be desired. As a mother of two I have faced many of the frustrations that come with parent-child communication, from power struggles to tantrums. Faber and Mazlish's astounding text took my communication efforts to new levels by introducing me to a means of talking to my children that I had not considered before. Although I have always considered myself to be a good mom, some of the approaches I took towards resolving situations like tantrums and arguments were actually making the situation worse. How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk brought an entirely new approach to our family home. Rather than condescending to my children, lecturing, and demoralizing them through harsh words, I learned to adapt my approach so that they were treated as equals. Simple language adaptations allowed me to do this, and although I struggled to drop my old habits at first, I eventually learned to communicate in a way that changed our family home for the better. Faber and Mazlish encourage respect, non-patronizing language, cooperation, praise and, an empowering approach to talking and listening to children. After reading their book, I felt as though much of it was common sense. MEET THE AUTHOR The Hyperink Team works hard to bring you high-quality, engaging, fun content. If ever you have any questions about our products, or suggestions for how we can make them better, please don't hesitate to contact us! Happy reading! EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The approach Faber and Mazlish take to parenting is one that encourages independence in children. The most popular and long-standing approach to raising kids has always been one that forces a dominant role on the adult, but that does not always work. How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk is a book that encourages a sense of mutual respect between parents and their children. The main foundation for taking on a new approach to parental communication appears to be empathizing. The authors quite rightly point out that children just need to be understood. While parents have known this for a while, they have not always been familiar with the approaches that they must take to ensure that their children feel as though they understand them. Faber and Mazlish focus on simple linguistic techniques that help achieve a sense of empathy. In addition to encouraging empathy, Faber and Mazlish look at how parents can bring consistency to their children's lives. Although as a parent it is natural to feel that daily routines are bringing the consistency that many experts believe will enhance your children's way of living, it is easy to trip up when it comes to maintaining a consistent approach in terms of communication. It is easy to be attentive and respectful to your child one day, and to be rushed and patronizing the next. Most parents do not realize that they are doing this, and the authors of this book do a great job of explaining how this happens without you knowing it. Buy a copy to continue reading!
