2012 NAPPA Gold Winner - Who says children don't come with handbooks? This quick how-to guide offers practical tips for communicating effectively, setting boundaries like walls and using acknowledgments instead of constant praise.Loaded with real-life examples and playful illustrations, it tells you exactly how to "say what you see" to start from where the child is - in the physical world of the here and now...and provide guidance from there."If you've ever been confused as a parent or teacher about what to say or how to respond to your child, then this book is for you. It's short enough to re-read again and again, which is lucky, because you'll want to." -- Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, author of Playful Parenting"SAY WHAT YOU SEE: An easy parenting strategy that really works." -- Dr. Laura Markham, Aha! Parenting"This book is interesting and easy to read.

I absolutely loved reading this book." -- Stephanie Mihalas, PhD, NCSP, founder of The Center for Well-Being, 2012 NAPPA judge"So concise. There's more on each page of this little book than in all the other parenting books I've ever read." -- Teresa, Parent, Waco, TX
