Elisa's Journal

I'm almost finished with Book #3: It's all about adult/child communication and how certain remarks, some that will surprise you, can harm children. Many can create external direction by programming kids to become approval seekers and hindering the development of their reasoning skills. This external direction is the root of most problems among kids, in schools, in families, in communities and in society as a whole. The working title was Lip Service: How What We Say Affects the Kids We Love, but the publisher didn't like that title. She changed it to "Hearing is Believing" but this just doesn't zing. Actually, my first title was STOP THAT! And Other Remarks That Mess Up Kids. If you have any great ideas, submit them. A free book to whoever suggests the winning title.
