Good listening requires listening ears, listening eyes, a listening mouth, a listening brain, and a listening heart.The purpose of this book is to teach children to understand how to be a good listener. Each communication style has both positive and negative traits. In this book, the Convincing Fox is very good at expressing herself but not as good at listening to others. The Supporting Elephant is very good at listening but is not as good at speaking up for what he wants. Beyond listening, this book talks about the Supporting Elephant as having the courage to speak up and not to hold grudges.Reading and discussing the concepts in this book with your children can help teach them how to be good listeners, how to discover their voice, and how to self-soothe when problem solving.
