Scientific studies show that up to 90% of any message is communicated
nonverbally, and that nonverbal skills relate directly to academic
achievement and social success. Only 10% of the population is truly
deficient in these skills; 80% of us have room for improvement.
Fortunately, nonverbal communication can be both taught and learned,
just like any other language. Clinical psychologists Nowicki and Duke
have devoted their careers to this groundbreaking research. Now they
have joined with educator Elisabeth Martin to create a valuable book
which shows parents and teachers how to improve children's nonverbal
communication skills, offering the tools children need to communicate
ideas and establish and maintain relationships. Using case studies,
exercises, and illustrations, the authors outline the six channels of
nonverbal communication and show adults how to access a child's
strengths and weaknesses. *Does she sense how close to stand to
another person? *Does he understand the unspoken rules about touching
people? *Does he know the types of appropriate posture for
approaching a group? *Does she recognize variations in tone of voice,
and the meaning they add to the verbal message? While not prescribing
conformity, the authors offer readers the opportunity to help
children acquire the skills which will lead to their future
happiness.
