Speak to Your Child: Stories for Parenting by Ben Klempner, MSW
“Parenting is probably the hardest job out there. It used to be that when a
parent was having a problem with a child they sought guidance from a sage or an experienced elder. In today’s day-and-age most of us don’t have sages and elders to go to who are able to help us in the talk of resolving our parenting dilemmas. So now whom can we turn to when the going gets tough?” - from Speak to Your Child: Stories for Parenting by Ben Klempner, MSW
As a Marriage and Family Therapist – and mother to a precocious toddler, I was thrilled and fascinated to learn about the power of story-telling and metaphor as a way to alleviate many of the common problems our children face – which can naturally improve the parent-child relationship by creating more quality time together as these stories are told.
The quality of relationship with our parents and primary caregivers is essential for our emotional and relationship health in the future. The importance of creating special one-on-one child with your child is without question – and this book provides an avenue to to so while tackling a slew of childhood dilemmas.
Topics include fear, forgiveness, bedwetting, shut door, bullying/being bullied, divorce, hurt feelings, not wanting to go to school, safe touch, temper tantrums and much more. Each chapter has parenting strategies, tips for customizing, the story and follow-up questions to explore with your child to further enhance the experience and understanding of the lesson shared.
I recommend this parenting book to parents who want to strengthen the bond with their children while alleviating a number of common childhood issues.
