How To Get Kids to Talk - Conversations That Engage Kids and Get Them to Talk

Catherine Jolley

Sinossi

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And you cannot wrap your mind around what’s happening because they are all withdrawn….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Are they into drugs and all withdrawn?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.

Evil Men - The History of...

Kelly Mass

This book combo encompasses the following topics:
Pol Pot - Pol Pot was a Cambodian political leader and revolutionary who worked as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 till 1979. He was a key member of Cambodia's communist company, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 to 1997, and acted as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981.
Benito Mussolini - Ironically, when we think of fascism, we often look at someone as brutal and influential as Adolf Hitler, but the word “fascism” originated from Italian. The ideology that was carried out in the vicious Spanish War right before World War 2, and was embraced by Nazi Germany, was actually pushed and more or less invented by the Italians during a critical time in history when many changes were made, and when fear and uncertainty were all in the air.
Francisco Pizarro - Conquistadores (or Conquistadors) were the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors who invaded parts of the world that hadn’t been discovered by the Europeans before the 16th century. Some of these conquerors behaved fairly nice and respectful towards the local population in South America, Asia, Africa, and Central America.
Torquemada - The Spanish inquisition was nasty in the 15th century. I am glad we don’t live in those times anymore. We have our own problems to deal with here. But back then, in some countries, primarily the Catholic-dominated ones in Europe, being called a heretic, a witch, or a sinner meant business. It could mean the end of your life. And often, you had nothing to defend yourself with.
Robespierre - One of the most widely known figures of the Reign of terror was Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, a French attorney and statesman. He promoted universal manhood suffrage and the removal of both clergy celibacy and oppression as a member of the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club.

The Bitch in the House - Women...

Anonimo

Despite more power and choices than ever before, women are still angry -- that's not necessarily a bad thing, as anger is what continues to open the door for change. In this collection, 15 women speak boldly and passionately about choices they've made -- about sex, children, love and work -- and explore what's working and what is not. Their essays -- always provocative, honest, witty and wise -- are the culmination of the lessons of the past two decades, the ‘me' years and the therapy years, the years that have taught women to express themselves and acknowledge their needs. As celebratory as they are critical, these brilliant essays reflect the truth about life.

Trauma Stewardship - An Everyday...

Anonimo

This beloved bestseller-over 180,000 copies sold-has helped caregivers worldwide keep themselves emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and physically healthy in the face of the sometimes overwhelming traumas they confront every day. 
 
A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll taken on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, or numb or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other living things, and the planet itself. 
 
In Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way. Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices, drawn from modern psychology and a range of spiritual traditions, that enable us to look carefully at our reactions and motivations and discover new sources of energy and renewal. She includes interviews with successful trauma stewards from different walks of life and even uses New Yorker cartoons to illustrate her points. 
 
"We can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve," Lipsky writes. "Taking care of ourselves while taking care of others allows us to contribute to our societies with such impact that we will leave a legacy informed by our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of burdened by our struggles and despair."

A Rare Recording of Corrie ten...

Corrie ten Boom

Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie. The following is part one of a speech ten Boom gave called, Authority Over Demons.
