Do your children shut down when you ask them questions?

Are they often frustrated that you don’t understand them?

Do they think you don’t listen, or worse, don’t care?

Active listening doesn’t come naturally to us. It’s a learned skill, and it helps us show our kids that we’re not just hearing them, but we understand them, and when their guard comes down you will be AMAZED at the results.

In this episode I am going to show you what active listening is and how you can start doing it today to create more meaningful conversations with your children of any age.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
