Teaching the Fine Art of Conversation Through Talking With, and Listening To Your Kids #019

Being a parent can feel tricky, complex and overwhelming. However, being a good parent can be a lot simpler than we think.

According to the longest study of human development many of the best indicators of how children will turn out are actually quite straight-forward, such as being emotionally warm towards them, reading to them daily, taking excursions with them, and talking with and listening to our kids.

This week we tackle how we work at being present with our children, talking to them sincerely and listening to them intentionally.

The Stat of the Week comes from the same research source, The British Cohort Study. You can also check out the TED talk from Helen Pearson.


Be sure to share this with a friend who needs some encouragement, who might benefit from this conversation on talking with and listening to our kids, or who just needs a good laugh at our expense.
