ABOUT THE BOOK
What if the most powerful thing you ever communicate to your child is something you never actually say out loud?
Every child communicates through behavior, emotion, silence, and action. But in a world full of noise and distraction, parents often miss what their children are really saying. More than that, parents often don't realize the signals they're sending — even when they don't mean to. Unspoken Signals is your guide to tuning in.
Drawing on nearly two decades of coaching experience, child development research, and her own journey as a mother, Yarona Boster offers a practical, compassionate framework for building emotional attunement with your child — at any age, in any season of life.
Whether you're navigating toddler tantrums, teenage withdrawal, or the quiet moments in between, this book will give you the language, tools, and confidence to show up in the ways your child needs most.

“Unspoken Signals” is, quite simply, a handbook for raising children. It can even help you recognize—and perhaps correct—things that were missed at the right time. At the very least, it may help explain why your children are who they are.
This remarkable book, a compendium of the key drivers and signals that shape human development, comes as close as anything I’ve seen to being that missing handbook. As I reflect on it, I’m convinced it’s the most important book you can lay your hands on—apart from, perhaps, the world’s great sacred scriptures."
Voluntary Advanced Reader
"There are so many parenting books in the world, and so many voices trying to tell us what matters most. Some leave us more burdened than encouraged. In Unspoken Signals, Yarona Boster keeps bringing the reader back to the quieter truths of family life, the ones that shape us early, linger long, and often go unnamed while they are happening.
Unspoken Signals is a thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply useful book. I would gladly recommend it to parents and caregivers, including those whose children are well beyond the earliest years. Its wisdom reaches farther than one stage of parenting. It lingers. And I believe many families will be better for it."
