CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER, TIFFANY! ENJOY YOUR PRODUCT. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR MORE GREAT GIVEAWAYS!
This week I have something really useful for my Monday Giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a copy of Chris Thompson’s audio course, “Talking to Toddlers.” Now if you don’t have a toddler, but you do have a non-communicative child who you struggle to talk with, this audio will help you with that as well! As I listened to the course, there were some strategies that I had employed already which work wonderfully, but “Talking to Toddlers” lays out everything you need in a clear, orderly way to learn how to talk to your child in a non-threatening, calm way that will get him or her to respond and listen to you. For example, I’ve used “double bind” before, but I had not combined them with presuppositions. Sure, that’s a lot of technical lingo, but no worries, Chris breaks everything down clearly with plenty of examples, and provides homework assignments with each lesson so you can quickly master the techniques of “Talking to Toddlers.”
In fact, this is a blueprint for getting your child to listen, comply, and avoid tantrums!
Chris takes techniques that are proven in psychology and reworks them to fit parents and young children – this is why these techniques are so effective. Even though Zoe is 6, she responded wonderfully to many of these, so I highly recommend this program. “Talking to Toddlers” has 12 tracks and a guide to help you through the lessons.

What is your biggest struggle when communicating with your child?
My biggest struggles are:
• My son has many words, but he doesn’t use them to communicate.
• When he is frustrated or hurt he doesn’t know how to communicate his feelings, so everything becomes a chaos.
• He has a selective hearing and auditory processing issues.
I am open to try method/technique that can help me to communicate with him.
My biggest struggle when communicating to my children is expressing emotion calmly, and in a controlled tone. I have a hard time not raising my voice and/or saying calculating words to my toddlers when they are not listening to my instructions and/or they choose to ignore me. I then raise my voice or up the consequence of say not getting dressed. My instructions aren’t heard and then it becomes a battle instead of parental guidance.
When they are trying to talk and have something specific that you do not understand and they get frustrated – so hard
My biggest issues is getting Isabella to stop repeating me when I’m giving directions, she’ll repeat back to me, what I asked her to do and ask me to do it instead. Drives me bananas!

I have trouble keeping my cool when my 2 year old is flatly refusing what I ask, or screaming she doesn’t want to. Especially when it involves her getting into/spilling something.
Getting my 3 year old to respond the first time he is spoken to. He likes to pretend he doesn’t hear us and I worry if I have to get him to stop suddenly by a vehicle or before he hurts himself, he will just keep going.

My biggest struggle is not being able to communicate when they are not feeling well. And making them understand that medicine makes them better even though it tastes yucky. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
My biggest struggle is not knowing what my son wants. He only has a few words and doesn’t use them very often, so we both end up getting frustrated.
My biggest struggle when talking to my four year old son is that he responds to everything I say to him with “why” or “what” even if he knows the answers. My 18 mo old son understands everything that I say to him but does not know how to speak. It frustrates him and in the end he will hit to get my attention.
With my adopted son who is 2 and behind is speech understand whether or not he is understanding what I am saying. This is an especially big struggle when he as done something wrong or unsafe that isn’t in the absolute No category. I hate saying no all of the time so the absolute No category has to be dangerous. I do not want to be say no all of the time. moc.liamgnull@niapninpl
