What is a child's secret language? A silent language used by all children, a remarkable gateway to their inner world, and an effective tool for continuously improving their emotional intelligence. The author is Dr. Lawrence E. Shapiro, a renowned American child psychologist and the author of "How to Raise a Child's EQ," another masterpiece by Dr. Shapiro. The book provides a detailed introduction to children's various secret languages, the content of these languages, methods for interpreting them, and the seven secrets to guiding children toward success. Dr. Shapiro believes that when communicating with children, language is only part of the answer. Gestures, eye contact, posture, tone, reactions, and other nonverbal cues play a significant role in conveying and receiving information. In early infancy, parents can not only recognize "macro" signals like facial expressions and posture but also observe "micro" signals, such as the color of a child's skin when they cry or the way they clench their fists. Dr. Shapiro has studied the intuitive and emotional connections between parents and children and has pointed out that toddlers and older children express their feelings through play, storytelling, and dreams, which helps parents communicate better with their children and enhances the children's ability to express their emotions. All children have a secret language. This language is not limited to words but is also reflected in a child's physical movements and facial expressions, such as their voice, games, and even the stories and dreams they tell. This language reflects a child's true happiness and comfort, as well as their deep-seated fears and conflicts. Professional consultants and doctors are very familiar with this language, but parents are almost completely unaware of it. This book is practical and actionable, offering parents many unusual methods to help them communicate better with their children. For young parents in China with children, this is an absolute help. For the children, it is also a blessing, as they will feel truly understood and loved by their parents.
