Book Reviews of Hearing Is Believing: How Words Can Make or Break Our Kids
Book Review: Good message - but a little too complex
Summary: 3 Stars
Medhus has a great message in this book. I was with this book whole heartedly for the first 4 chapters. After awhile there are so many words/phrases that she suggests one shouldn't say that it is overwhelming. I find myself not wanting to saying anything to my daughter for fear it might be one of those many, many, many examples that is ill-advised in the book. I will not give in though but I do wish the message was more simplistic and easier to implement.
We are also struggling right now with what to say to our 15 month old as she is starting to walk, talk and learn many skills - "good job" is now off limits (per the book) - that's difficult.
