Summary

Has your child, who wouldn’t keep anything from you or who never seemed to run out of energy when they started talking, hit the pre-tween or tween stage and stopped sharing?
 
Has this been bothering you, and you are looking for a guide to help your child talk and share more without crossing boundaries or coming off as a “controlling parent?”
 
If so, this is the book for you:
 
This blueprint will teach you how to start conversations that can engage kids and get them to talk!
 
There was a time your son or daughter wouldn’t stop talking even when you felt they were talking too much and often told them to ‘shhhhh’ just so you can have a moment of silence. They talked about anything and everything, which all came as cute moments of embarrassment and giggles all wrapped as one.
 
And then they stopped…
 
And you cannot wrap your mind around what’s happening because they are all withdrawn….
 
You are wondering…
 
Did I do something wrong?
 
Is it normal?
 
Are they into drugs and all withdrawn?
 
How do I get them to talk and stop giving me one-word answers?
 
How can I create a safe and open environment where my child feels free to talk to me?
 
Will this stage pass on its own, or are there measures I should take?
 
How can I encourage my child to express their feelings?
 
Are there communication techniques I can use?
 
How do I maintain my child’s trust once they share something?
 
If these and other questions are troubling you and keeping you up at night, this book has answers and strategies that will help improve communication between you and your child/children.
 
From it, you will discover:
 
The art and importance of positive and effective communication with your kids
 
How to go about managing communication time with your kids
 
The barriers to positive and effective communication
 
The benefits of talking and listening
 
What positive communication with your kids entails
 
Conversational tips and strategies to get your quiet child to open up
 
How to communicate with your child when you suspect they are hiding something or won’t tell you what is wrong
 
How to navigate and start fuller conversations if your child gives you one-word answers
 
And much more!
 
Even if it feels like your child is becoming distant and the bond between you is weakening, this book will give you valuable and effective ways to get your child to talk.

    Mostly Americans need to take a fresh look at ourselves. To do that we need to apply critical thinking, add some skepticism, and be willing to replace answers with questions. 
    Compiled from a decade of writings and contemplation, and further aided by a forty-year career in the world of business dealing with hundreds of companies, this book represents a synthesis between the theoretical and the empirical. Each chapter stands entirely on its own, but each stands stronger when joined with the others. The author’s goal is simply to have the reader challenge their preconceived notions. 
    This book is for you if you feel confident enough to challenge everything you might think about the American political dynamic, how honestly and effectively you communicate with others, and how you process what you find in the news or on social media. Do you have what it takes to become a political dissident? Find out. Finally, and most difficult of all, are you up to taking a look into the mirror and asking yourself: Am I ethical? 
    Get ready to have your toy box dumped all over the floor. Prepare to check all your premises. Be willing to think!

Fluent in 3 Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World is a new blueprint for fast language learning. Lewis argues that you don't need a great memory or "the language gene" to learn a language quickly, and debunks a number of long-held beliefs, such as adults not being as good of language learners as children.
