Summary: Parent Talk: How to Talk to Your Children in Language That B
Comment: This is a great book! After 20 years of working with children, I thought I knew all the ways to speak to a child. But this book has given me new insight into the impact that our words have on children. It shows examples of how we inadvertently teach our children 'learned helplessness' and ways to teach them the process of making decisions, handling everyday happenings, and to make their own choices. I have also been amazed at how the advice in this book works with my teenager! So I ventured a step further and have used the advice in this book with co-workers, too, with some amazing results! It is easy to read and refer back to when necessary. Every parent should have a copy of this book handed to them when their children are born.

Summary: Great ideas for communication
Comment: I would recommend this book to all parents as a source for creating better communication between parents and kids. Covered in "Parent Talk," and certainly not a new topic, is the psychological impact our words have on our kids. Sayings you might think are harmless may have short- and long-term effects that you never realized.
Chick Moorman gives ways to word, or reword, what we say for maximum nurturing, as well as showing us what to say to help our kids think for themselves. Even if you know how your words affect your children, this book gives options in a variety of categories (responsibility, praise, criticism, learned helplessness, etc.) that you might not have thought of. It is easy to read with brief chapters following each suggested, or not suggested, "parent talk" statement. The statement-then-definition format does get redundant, but aside from that, I would encourage parents to read this book.

Summary: Changed the climate in our household
Comment: I saw Chick Moorman speak about Parent Talk and ultimately read the book at a time when I needed some guidance on parenting a 4 year old. I shared Chick's feelings of respect and responsibility for my son, but didn't know how to phrase these concepts "in the heat of the moment". This book taught me the way to say what I want my child to hear - that I love him and respect him and that I want to teach him to be responsible for his actions.
Each page is an example you can put into use immediately. It's common sense all good parents have been searching for.I have recommended this book to ever parent I know.
