About Beyond Words: The Art of Effectively Communicating With Your Children
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but skill-building does.
In Beyond Words, Beth Long, PhD, LPC, BCBA, draws on decades of counseling and behavior analysis to help parents look beyond misbehavior and see what’s really happening: children who are struggling with skills they haven’t yet mastered. By shifting from a focus on punishment to a focus on teaching, parents can transform conflict into collaboration.
Inside, you’ll find practical tools to:
● Recognize behaviors as signs of unmet developmental needs.
● Teach kids essential life skills like communication, flexibility, and problem-solving.
● Use everyday moments to build emotional intelligence and resilience.
● Strengthen bonds through empathy, boundaries, and consistency.
Dr. Beth’s compassionate, evidence-based approach gives parents the confidence to respond calmly, the strategies to guide effectively, and the reassurance that struggling moments can become opportunities for growth.
Beyond Words will leave parents feeling empowered, equipped, and ready to raise capable, confident children prepared for life’s challenges.
