Language of Listening™ Basics – Part I & II
2-Hour Classes for Parents and Teachers
Your child is focused on waving a bubble wand with one hand and pours bubble stuff on you with the other.
Not paying attention or paying attention?
It’s time to go, and your child is hiding.
Hiding from you or wanting to be found?
It all depends on how you see it; and so does your reaction.
Part I demonstrates how to SAY WHAT YOU SEE™ — the missing step that allows you to instantly connect with children to transform complaints and resistance into STRENGTHs they can use the rest of their lives. Add CAN DOs to complete this simple new approach to parenting. This class is presented in video format. Purchase your own SAY WHAT YOU SEE™ Workshop DVD to watch at any time, or register below to attend one of our facilitated viewings.
Sandy Blackard, founder of Language of Listening,™ will work with you in person to help you turn your most challenging moments with your child into rewarding ones.

Language of Listening™ Playtime – Part I & II
8 and 4-Week Classes for Parents and Teachers of Children Ages 3-12
Part I: 8-Week Class
Our playtime class is the one parenting class your child wants you to take! Part I is a fun and easy way to master saying what you see by immersion in specially designed “Power Playtime” with your child.
As your relationship with your child deepens, defiance, back-talk, clinging, sibling rivalry, night-time fears, and a number of other troublesome childhood behaviors are replaced with love, respect, trust and confidence. Insight and connection soar to the next level as you un-do, un-say, and un-think your old habits while the child leads the play in your Power Playtime “homework” 30 min, once a week during the last four weeks of class. The more you say what you see, the more the child’s strengths shine through!
Classes provide instruction, hands-on experience, review of one videotaped home playtime, and a private coaching call for each Playtime Parent. The Observer category is perfect for spouses and teachers.
The coaching call alone is worth $125; the life-time skills you gain make this class a wise investment. Click here to see some of the heart-warming comments we’ve received from previous participants and their children.
Part II: 4-Week Follow-up Class What are the patterns in your child’s play telling you? In Part II as you continue your “Power Playtimes” at home and videotape reviews in class, you will gain a deeper understanding of how your child sees his or her world and learn to spot new patterns on your own. Deeper understanding means deeper connections and accelerates your child’s and your own personal growth. The Observer category is perfect for spouses and teachers who have taken Part I.
