ISACS Parent Series: Voice Lessons for Parents & Caregivers: What to Say, When to Say It & How to Listen

Most parents are adept and savvy communicators, even when mild tensions arise in relationships—until they’re talking to their children. Addressing this growing challenge for families, Dr. Mogel developed a series of specific “voice lessons” for parents. Using humor and act outs, she’ll share how a shift in vocal style, verbal content, and timing will lead children to listen more attentively, communicate with more enthusiasm, respect, and sincerity and cooperate with more alacrity. She’ll reveal how each age and stage of a child’s life brings novel opportunities to connect. And the heartening news is that parents can model and teach the foundational skills of communication starting at birth...or anytime beyond. Participants will leave with specific skills and strategies to use with children of diverse temperaments that span childhood and adolescence. The recording of this webinar will only be available until December 31, 2023.
