    About this ebook

    You’ve probably already seen in. You’re walking through a mall or a supermarket and you observe a parent with a small child in tow. The child playfully tugs on the parent’s sleeve. “Can I have a toy? Sweet? Treat? Etc.” The answer is no and then the child launches into a major tantrum, screaming, kicking, crying, and anything else it will take for him or her to get his way. The parent looks around, embarrassed, and finally gives in so they can put an end to their humiliation.

    Believe it or not, that is a form of communication. While the child’s behavior could be a demonstration of a strong will, that child has learned that when words don’t work – actions will. It isn’t something that is unique to that particular point in time but instead is a demonstration of the relationship the parent has developed with that child over days, weeks, months, and years.

    Children rarely go to such measures unless they know that it will work. However, parents often are at odds about what to do in such situations. As parents, we often find ourselves in a number of unpleasant situations where we’re not sure what to say or how to communicate those all important messages to our children. You may feel as though you’re walking a tightrope between teaching them what’s right and wrong and nurturing their creative and naturally curious spirit.

    Learning how to be an effective communicator is essential for parents who are wishing to raise children who will themselves become effective communicators and thrive not only for today but for many years in the future as well. This book is designed as a basic guide that will help you to start and hold open discussions with your children at any age.

    In this book you’ll learn:

    ·         Some of the common causes for communication breakdown between parents and children.

    ·         Understanding how the mind of a child works

    ·         How children’s thinking changes as they grow older

    ·         How to speak to your children at any age

    ·         And Much More

    Once you’ve mastered these basic communication techniques, you’ll begin to see little changes in your relationship with your child. This will strengthen your family and bring you closer together, which in turn will promote better communication.

    This book can in no way explain every aspect of communication with children but is expected to be merely a guide that will encourage you to start in the right direction. Once you’ve completed this book of basic ideas, you may feel the need to do a bit more research and look deeper into the endless possibilities that effective communication can accomplish. But for now, the best place to start is at the beginning and there won’t be a better place to do it than here. So, let’s get started learning how to communicate with our kids.

      On Kids and Parenting - Jean Rodgers

      Introduction

      In this difficult world we live in, it seems that the only key to having a successful, happy family life is to bond each member together with strong communication. But it is painfully clear at this point in time in the history of humanity that the family unit is clearly in trouble. Divorce rates are soaring in almost every corner of the world leaving homes managed by struggling single parents that are juggling all aspects of life in an endless battle to stay afloat. Those family units that do remain intact have to be on constant guard against gender identities, generational divides, and economic struggles that threaten to break them apart at nearly every turn.

      Depending on who you choose to talk to, there are numerous causes for these assaults on the family institution. As we continue to advance as a society, people are finding it to be more important to assert and establish their own individual identities and being a part of a unit is frequently looked down upon. And more than anything, they want to know that the challenges they face every day, actually mean something, have some kind of purpose that will make them worthwhile.

      Whatever the reason for family struggles, one thing seems to be clear. In order to have a strong family unit, strong communication needs to be at the root of everything you do. So, as parents begin to train and prepare their children for life in this world, they will need to transmit essential information to them in a way that they will readily accept and apply in their regular activities. However, as children are working to establish their own identities, they’ll be more likely to test the waters and experiment with different life experiences. So, when it comes to successful communication, parents want to show their children not only that they care for them but also teach them important information that could give them practical wisdom that could be used for the remainder of their lives.

      Unfortunately, in these modern times, the art of communication is almost to the point where it is completely lost. Parents no longer know how to talk with their kids. Many, with their busy lifestyles, have limited their conversations with their children to giving demands and listing rules. This tactic has proven to be a major downfall in not only developing an effective way to communicate with young minds but limits their ability to tactfully communicate with others.

      This book is specifically designed to guide you through developing positive communication skills with young people of all ages. In this book, you will learn

      Why proper communications skills are essential

      Benefits to be gained from good communication

      When and how you should start communicating with your children

      How to communicate with infants and toddlers

      How to talk with children

      Effective ways to prevent the communication gap with pre-teens and teenagers.

      It is our hope that through this book, you will be able to effectively learn just a few simple strategies that will allow you to open
