My friends, Cecilia and Jason Hilkey, have launched their third conference to share cutting-edge brain science and practical tools that parents can use to help their kids foster social and emotional intelligence and mindfulness, navigate friendships and feelings, and develop resilience.

Oh no. There are better ways to handle situations in which you need a child to use a quieter tone of voice. She could have stooped down to his level and said in a conspiratory whisper, “Let’s talk like this.” modeling how you want him to talk and engaging him in a game of whispering. It works and sends a more important message than the one you overhead. Thanks for your comment!!!
