Excerpt
Parents often make mistakes with their children because they are rushed, worried and already afraid of making mistakes. This book will help you regain your loving relationship with your child through a simple but powerful method of speaking and listening. Bruce Benko shares the wisdom he has gained over the course of 25 years of teaching more than 10,000 children, counseling thousands of parents and working with over 100 educators to help parents learn how to implement strategies and techniques that will give their children a Voice--the ability to express their needs and to help them protect themselves with their words. These same methods also gave Bruce the Power--the ability to react to a child's behavior in a way that brings understanding, mutual respect, and ultimately, the desired behavior.
