How to Talk to Human Beings

[HeatherV]

I found the link to your website referenced in post by George Benhorn on YoungPrePro.

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk is a fantastic resource. For anyone who struggles with communication, the information in the book is gold. The book offered my family a path to peace.

Thanks for the post!

Best, Heather

When you have more kids you will discover this too.

It’s worth pointing out he has three…

Methinks you will change your absolutely naive understanding of “human beings” when your next offspring is born with autism. This post is one of the more appallingly ignorant I’ve read from this blog.

I think your reply is very ignorant as well, because the post is clearly not talking about children with autism. It’s like going to a car shop and screaming: This place is stupid, wait until you ride a motorcycle!

Be nice, the post was good for me.

I’m wondering how much the “repeat-acknowledge-allow autonomy” structure can be extended beyond spoken conversation. It seems a pretty common complaint (especially for anyone remotely comfortable with problem-solving) to have a work inbox full of e-mails that have little to no apparent effort in looking into the problem (even when it is a problem that they have been shown how to solve before), and I get the feeling that repeating/summarising the problem in some way may give them the space to get to a solution themselves.
