Summary: Do you know a toddler who refuses to budge? Has a preschooler ever called you stupid? Our natural reaction to these kinds of situations is often annoyance, and words that just don't work. Author Sarah MacLaughlin's new book, What Not to Say: Tools for Talking with Young Children, is an essential guide for learning to shift the way you communicate with young children and provides a simple framework of techniques that will help you respond differently. Whether parent, teacher, grandparent, or nanny, this book will help you see the importance of what a child hears from you. Changing your approach, words, and even tone can have lasting effect not only on your relationship with a child but also on that child's behavior.
