I read How To Talk ages ago and thought blithely that I would apply it to DS1 as he got older, but after months of shouting and nagging and hauling him off stuff and away from stuff and declaring 'PUT THAT DOWN OR WE WILL GO HOME NOW, NOW DS1, GET INTO YOUR BUGGY WHY DO YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME' I thought I was due a recap.
There's so much here that I need to go through it methodically. Anyone else up for a mini boot camp?
So ch 1 is helping children to deal with their feelings:
listen with full attention
acknowledge their feelings
give their feelings a name
give them their wishes in fantasy
