Most parents think they're listening. Most kids don't feel heard.
This book closes the gap-and helps you stop yelling and start connecting.

Listen to Your Children gives you simple, repeatable habits that turn daily chaos into calm. Instead of lectures and power struggles, you'll use presence, curiosity, and age-right dialogue so kids open up and listen
back.

You'll learn how to:

• Use the 60-Second Reset to move from half-listening to full presence - so you stay calm instead of yelling
• Ask questions that work with preschoolers, school-age kids, and teens
• Swap time-outs for time-ins, set clear limits without threats, and repair after conflict
• Handle tantrums, big feelings, and defiance with connection-first scripts
• Talk about TV/Phone screens, gaming, and social media without fights
• Hear every voice in blended, multicultural, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse families
• Build resilience and independence-without rescuing
• Protect your patience with quick, guilt-free self-care

Short stories, ready-to-use scripts, and micro-exercises make it doable.

The result: Fewer meltdowns, more trust, and a child who brings you the small things, so you're there for the big ones.
