Voice lessons for parents
What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Listen
Book • 2018
“Voice Lessons for Parents: What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Listen” is a parenting book by clinical psychologist Wendy Mogel that helps caregivers use everyday conversations to strengthen relationships with their children.
Drawing on more than three decades of clinical practice, as well as research from psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and education, Mogel shows how different stages of childhood and adolescence call for different ways of speaking and listening.
Through concrete examples, anecdotes from schools and camps, and guidance for common family flashpoints, she explains how overprotection, over‑scheduling, and perfectionism can undermine children’s intrinsic motivation and resilience—and how thoughtful communication can instead nurture confidence, independence, and mutual respect.
