Go the (Bleep) to Sleep
Never let it be said that we at Language of Listening™ don’t have a good sense of humor. This “children’s book for parents,” Go the (Bleep) to Sleep
What does it have to do with SAYing WHAT YOU SEE? It reflects just how you feel when you’re exhausted and your toddler won’t go to sleep. The irreverent and downright rude language leaves you feeling like you are not alone; like it’s OK to be you, even when you are at your worst.
That’s the gift of being heard. When you can laugh at yourself instead of feeling guilty, you’re there — in the space of growth!
How does a wise and patient parenting expert like me know? I was there many times before I learned to say what I see. If you find this book refreshingly funny, and NOT justification for thoughts and actions you don’t like, know that you are definitely not alone. You are on the path to growth.

Say What You See Book
Thank you Sandy, I still sometimes feel this way even though my kids are 7 and 10! When will it end!
It was very refreshing to read what you wrote Sandy, I thought the book was hilarious too but I also felt a little guilty at finding it funny too, at first…
But I think what you wrote about not feeling like you were alone in feeling those things was also quite ‘freeing’ and it did make good fodder for some interesting conversations with my husband and other parents about things that are not always easily talked about, and we had a good laugh at our selves too!! We had many ideas for the subjects of other books, ‘put your (bleep) clothes on’ and ‘ eat your (bleep) vegetables’ definately ranked the highest!!
