"In the Power of a Parent's Words, you'll find the everyday help that you need to succeed in the everyday task of communicating effectively with your loved ones."

—Gary Smalley and John Trent, Co-authors of the Two Sides of Love

Have you ever felt wounded or destroyed by cruel words that somebody said to you? Now imagine what children feel like when their parents-the people children most want to please-use communication carelessly.

A parent's words have the power to build a child up. But subtle teasing, sarcasm or attempts at humor can bruise a child on the inside. We can make our children feel worthless-or we can learn to communicate constructive and help them think as highly of themselves as God does.

In The Power of a Parent's Words; Norm Wrights will show you how to recognize dysfunctional patterns you may have inherited from your own parents, learn healthy, functional methods of communication, discovery your child's personality type, understand his or her own unique communication style, and apply that knowledge to your daily interactions.

It's information you can use to build your child up and reduce the frustrations that accompany parenting. You'll see that constructive, frustration free parenting can be achieved-by knowing the uplifting methods of healthy communication.
