By examining real-life examples, the presentation highlights how teacher talk can influence classroom dynamics, promote learning, and build relationships.

Parent Talk: How to Talk to Your Children in Language That Builds Self-Esteem and Encourages Responsibility is a curriculum that teaches parents how to communicate effectively with their children in ways that foster confidence, responsibility, and emotional well-being. The class emphasizes the importance of using positive, respectful language that empowers children to take responsibility for their actions, make thoughtful decisions, and develop healthy self-esteem. It provides practical strategies for avoiding negative or critical language that can damage a child’s sense of self-worth, instead encouraging open, supportive dialogue that strengthens the parent-child relationship and promotes long-term emotional growth.
