The ART of Living Life
THE ART OF LISTENING TO CHILDREN
Listening to a child in your life is one of the most
important things
you can do as a caring adult in the life
of a child!
LISTENING, truly listening to a child, send them
a powerful message! A message that says:
YOU CARE!
THEY MATTER!
THEIR WORDS MATTER!
THEIR FEELINGS MATTER!
YOU SEE THEM!
!
**************************
WHY IS LISTENING TO CHILDREN &
TEENS IMPORTANT?
Research confirms the importance of
listening to children.
1. EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT - Talking & being heard helps children learn how to express feelings, solve problems, and understand others.
2. TEACHES RESPECT & COMMUNICATION - When we listen to children, we model how conversations should work. They learn how to listen to others, disagree respectfully and speak up without fear.
3. STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS - Listening supports healthy family relationships. Children are much more likely to cooperate and open up when they feel understood and no dismissed.
'CHILD - FRIENDLY HOMES!"
Through the
years I've written three books on the subject, held parenting classes and have hosted numerous radio
shows on the subject.
I've had the fun of creating numerous
"child-friendly" homes, designing
unique places for each unique child.
And Now I'm delighted to be bringing
my years of parenting experience all together
and offering the above MASTER COURSE!
I sincerely hope YOU will join me!
Together We Learn...
Together We Grow!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SHARON:
Parenting Class:
Sharon has a wonderful way of mixing her presentation to include discussion, sharing, individual exercises and lecture which keeps the class upbeat, personal, educational and interesting.
As a parent with experience as a parent educator it has been valuable
to re-visit known concepts, to learn new perspectives, and to take
the time to re-focus on my own parenting.
Sharon's gentle voice and accepting manner keep all the members
of the class comfortable sharing personal issues and eager to ask questions.

is a beautiful kind soul and an effective, nurturing, creatively aware teacher for my daughter Angelina!! I highly recommend her piano teaching and art classes because my daughter has been growing and expanding in her heart, mind and skills from both.
Sharon is patient, kind, loving and creates a very nurturing environment that is palpable whether in person or during online lessons. My daughter looks forward to all her moments with Sharon.
Sharon is a stellar human being and we are happy she's a part of our lives!
