Inhaltsangabe

Help your child master the language of nonverbal communication.
Do you know what nonverbal language is? Even if you can't define it, you speak it every day through your postures, gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice, and you must constantly read these same signals from others. In fact, nonverbal messages can carry up to 90% of the meaning of human interaction and contribute significantly to social, academic, and professional success.
Yet even though we recognize the importance of nonverbal communication, we have generally left the teaching of this essential language to chance. Now parents and teachers can help children develop nonverbal skills so that they will be able to communicate more effectively and to interact with others more successfully.
In Teaching Your Child the Language of Social Success, clinical psychologists Marshall Duke and Stephen Nowicki and educator Elixabeth Martin describe and explain the methods and rules of nonverbal communication. Together they have created an easy-to-use guide which offers definitions and techniques for assessing a child's strengths and weaknesses in this unspoken realm, as well as case studies, illustrations, and exercises for teaching or improving nonverbal skills at home or in the classroom.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Occasionally a book comes along that has something to say to people of all ages. IF I FOUND A WISTFUL UNICORN is such a book. A special gift for any occasion when a gift of love is called for. It is as appropriate for adults as it is for children...like happiness and springtime.
The text, in verse form, is at the same time whimsical and serious. The author and artist have combined their talents to create a rare and sensitive book that immediately grabs one by the heart and works magic that recognizes no age, no particular time, but encompasses all in its beautiful simplicity. Proving, with over 170,000 copies in print, it does leaves a warm afterglow.
