The Unheard Child

Sometimes we forget that children fight not because they want distance but because they don't know another way to be heard.The Unheard Child grew out of that realization. It's not a theory or a collection of polished lessons. It's what happens when a parent finally stops asking What's wrong with them? and starts wondering What are they trying to tell me?Declan Kham writes like someone who's been in the middle of it - the silence the guilt the exhaustion that love sometimes turns into. He doesn't talk down to the reader. He speaks beside them. There's something honest and unfinished about the way he tells these stories and that's what makes them work.The book moves between reflection and practical truth showing that rebellion isn't always rejection. Sometimes it's a rough clumsy way of asking for closeness. Declan shares how a parent can rebuild trust without shouting louder - by listening longer.These pages don't promise perfection but they offer something more valuable: a clearer way to see your child and yourself in the same moment.If you've ever stood at that painful distance between love and misunderstanding this book will help you find your way back - quietly and for real.
