Listening to children is a skill that parents, teachers, caregivers, and school counselors need to use every day. Through their deep respect for the existing attitudes of these adults, the authors offer an additional dimension to the art of communicating with children.

This book addresses listening in many ways, both to our deeper selves and to others. It involves listening to what children say, feel, and think, but also to what lies deeper than thoughts and emotions.

When children learn to listen to their inner world, sensing what they feel in their bodies, a change in behavior emerges. The process of change, called Focusing, is explained in many ways, through the personal experiences of the authors, their workshops, training, and through therapy sessions with children.

The authors provide a structured approach to applying this process in schools and other group situations, but much of it can also be utilized at home by parents. With this book, you can quite independently begin to accompany children more consciously in their development, and in this way, you will see their self-confidence grow.
