Helpful and Supportive

As a family therapist, one thing that comes up quite often is how children, teens, and often even adults have difficulty navigating the world of digital communication. Different people can read the same sentence different ways, and emojis and symbols can have multiple meanings. What was meant as sarcasm can be taken seriously, and what was meant as sincere support can be confused for an insult! As a result, digital communication often damages relationships instead of building them.

I love this book! I've recommended it to four families so far, with solid results. The teens and their parents all benefited from the simple and direct explanations of communication styles and intentions. Not only did the teens learn how to read and navigate their digital world safely and directly, they became better and more thoughtful communicators themselves. It's very helpful in the digital realm, but these families are also seeing improvements in their real-world conversations! What's not to like?

Jump on this, no matter what your age. Share it with your friends and family. I'll be using it in my therapy practice for years, I'm sure!

Great for Teens to Communicate Better

Teens today have so many challenges. Mine has told me more than once, "people just don't get me!" I will be sharing this audiobook with her to hopefully help her with this challenge. She texts me all the time, and knowing her, I get when she's kidding and I know how she uses emojis to express her feelings. For her, the trouble comes when she texts her grandma, I usually get told that mom doesn't understand what she is saying at all. The same goes with her social media post.

I should also share this with my mom to help her understand online communication as well.

I think the strategies in this audiobook will help my daughter in so many situations. Even at school, she is now texting teachers for help and questions, this will allow her to differentiate conversing online with her friends vs more formal conversations.

This audiobook is great for anyone who wants to improve on digital communication - not just teens. Preteens, adults and older adults will find this very helpful.

A Necessary and Timely Book!

This book is great! I have teens in my life, and after having them listen to this book, they have said that it has helped them differentiate and understand different types of online texting communication. They said they can see how to make sure they come across as polite or casual with friends. I think this will also help them to reduce text misunderstandings. We all read things differently than it was intended and this book can help! I definitely recommend this book.
