Parentspeak : what's wrong with how we talk to our children--and what to say instead / Jennifer Lehr.
"Imagine if every time you praise your child with "Good job!" you're actually doing more harm than good, offering meaningless approval instead of actually engaging with your child?

Jennifer Lehr is a smart, funny, fearless writer who takes on "parentspeak" and, in the process, offers a conscious, compassionate approach to parenting"--Provided by publisher.
