Learning to Listen, Learning to Care: A Workbook to Help Kids Learn Self-control and Empathy - Softcover
Synopsis
When it comes to teaching kids to behave well, the "why" is as important as the "how." In Learning to Listen, Learning to Care, children learn why it is important to follow rules and behave considerately toward others. This cultivates empathy, which contributes not just to good behavior, but to academic and social success. By working through the fun and engaging exercises in this book, kids learn how to recognize the impact of their behavior on others, express emotion in appropriate ways, and compromise with family and friends.
Behavioral problems among children are at an all-time high in the US. Parents of nearly 2.7 million children say that their kids suffer from severe emotional or behavioral problems that interfere with their family life or learning. A staggering 50 percent of counseling referrals are for behavioral problems. Empathy is the antidote to many of them, according to child psychologist and author Lawrence Shapiro. In Learning to Listen, Learning to Care, he teaches the empathy and self-control that can reduce behavioral problems and lead to long-term success. This book is appropriate for kids between the ages of six and twelve.

Synopsis
Empathy is almost always the antidote to behaviour problems and behavioural problems account for 40-50 percent of all counseling referrals. Unfortunately most parents use the same approach over and over again, even when they don't work. They can also be bad at setting limits; but what they can do with the help of this workbook is teach new skills. Here is an experienced and trusted voice that has come with a whole set of fresh tips. And it's far easier to teach a new habit rather than just change an old one. For example, instead of a time-out corner, a parent of carer could instead create a relaxation corner. This book is based on the author's positive discipline techniques, taught to thousands of therapists and parents over a twenty year clinical career. It is designed to make it easy for parents to teach empathy and caring to even difficult children.
