And it doesn't have to be so difficult. Christine Kiernan-Producer, Thomson Reuters, New York "I picked up Healthy Relationships 101 on a friend's recommendation. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop until I'd read it cover to cover. Author and Relationship Foundation director Michael Jascz has created a compelling narrative, in which he interweaves personal history and anecdotes from students with clear-cut information and guidelines for becoming a more effective communicator. Among the lessons the book spells out: how to express oneself without placing blame on others; how to empathize and be a better listener; how adverse childhood experiences can affect our present-day relationships - and what we can do to change this. For those of us who did not have the good fortune to pick up effective communication skills in childhood, and for others just wanting a brush-up, this book is an extremely engaging, useful guide. I'd recommend Healthy Relationships 101 to adults, children, school groups, work places - to anyone wanting to improve her/his relationships with others and the world at large." Barbara Davis Thompson, Psychotherapist, MSW, MA, New York City "Michael Jascz has written a powerful book that is engagingly readable. No surprise that good relationships are one of the critical elements of a satisfying life. Michael spells this message out smartly and effectively. His book gives example after example from the lives of those emotionally hacked by bullies, uninformed parents and other authority figures whose hurtful words and behavior carry the power to emotionally damage for a life time. His book Healthy Relationships 101 shares transformative information on how to develop the types of relational skills that allow you and yours to tune into the most important needs and wants of oneself and others. Just imagine every child, teacher and parent experiencing being heard and understood. Healthy Relationships 101 is Michael's impassioned dedication to reaching families, teachers, society and the young people of the world. He asks us to meet the challenge of developing "Relationship Smart" children and to start now reaching them at the youngest age possible. Michael asks the world to listen up; change is possible.
