As our children move through different stages of life, we are faced with new challenges and decisions. We find ourselves questioning whether we have taught them well enough or whether they have listened well enough. As parents, we may also feel that society is blocking us from teaching our children the values and skills they need to grow into safe, happy and successful adults. In the midst of our own personal doubts and these societal pressures, sadly it is communication with our children that often breaks down first, leading hundreds of people into family counseling every year.
We know we should listen to our children. Instead, we find ourselves talking, nagging, avoiding, yelling, and pleading over and over. These are the fear reactions that become wired into our brains, as well as the brains of our children, making communication extraordinarily difficult. Family counseling services abound to address this very issue, and the resulting family disconnectedness it produces. The great news is: we can break this cycle by learning skills and tools to communicate with our children effectively, positively and appropriately.
In this day-long workshop, you will discover how to work with your reactive mind so that your interactions with your children are no longer governed by the fear reactions you may be using today. By learning and using a simple, yet surprisingly effective, listening technique, your children will feel at ease with you and you with them. Whether you are struggling to repair a strained mother-daughter relationship, or to improve your family dynamic as a whole, the tools you need to make the changes you desire are available. As parents, learn how to stop walking on eggshells; the connection with our children is still there, we just need the proper tools to rediscover it.
