Parenting Resource Book – WHY CHILDREN DON’T LISTEN

A guide for parents and teachers. “What can you do when a child just won’t listen?”

How we speak to each other is at the very heart of human relationships. Children are often much better than adults at reading between the lines and deciphering the messages we send through body language and tone of voice.

WHY CHILDREN DON’T LISTEN is an invaluable handbook for parents and teachers. It covers all aspects of talking to and, importantly, listening to children, including communication with children of different ages and understanding the wider situation in which the conversation is taking place.

The author Monika Kiel-Hinrichsen has many years of experience as a teacher and a communication consultant. She has five children and lives in Germany. Translating the theory into practical, everyday solutions, her book has plenty of useful exercises throughout, to help adults communicate more successfully with the children in their care.
