It is revealed in your child's body movements and facial expressions, in their voice, in their art, in their play, even in their stories and dreams. It is a language that reveals their deepest fears and conflicts. It is a language quite familiar to professional therapists, but as a parent, you hardly know that it exists. In HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF CHILDREN, Dr Lawrence E. Shapiro provides the keys that will open the door to a whole new way for you to relate to your children. This secret language is too important in the understanding of children to be the exclusive province of mental health professionals: it should be a tool that you can use to enrich your relationship with your child.
