Teaching Kids to Live Without You: Yarona Boster on Unspoken Signals
<p>In this episode of Author Hour, Eric Jorgenson sits down with Yarona Boster, author of Unspoken Signals, to explore what it truly means to raise a resilient child.<br /><br />Yarona draws on nearly two decades of early childhood development, psychology, and coaching to make a provocative argument: a parent's real job isn't to protect their children at all costs, it's to give them the tools to thrive without them.<br /><br />She shares the personal losses that shaped the book, breaks down the three core pillars every human needs to function (connection, autonomy, and competency), and explains why most of what we call communication is happening beneath the surface, in signals we're sending before we even have words for them.<br /><br />She also offers candid, practical advice for aspiring authors on trusting your vision, filtering the noise of too many voices, and finding support that guides without controlling.<br /><br />For more information on Yarona Boster, visit <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://scribemedia.com/authors/yarona-boster" target="_blank">https://scribemedia.com/authors/yarona-boster</a><br /><br />For more information on Unspoken Signals, visit <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://scribemedia.com/published-books/unspoken-signals" target="_blank">https://scribemedia.com/published-books/unspoken-signals</a></p>
