SHOW NOTES

Jeff and I have had a lot of families in our offices with a teen, a parent (or two…or three sometimes) that are furious with their kid.  

“They don’t listen to me and they ignore me or roll their eyes.”  

Sometimes parents feel like their kids don’t care what they say or feel that their kid doesn’t think what they want is important. 

At the expense of making some parents really upset, what if I told you the majority of your issues with your kid…you taught them.  We often don’t realize that we are doing these things. We rarely mean to be this way.  Here are a few examples:

• Talking “at” your kid.
• Always saying “I’m sorry” but never changing.
• Playing the victim.
• Jumping to conclusions.
• Being inconsistent with good communication.

But we frequently teach our kids, through bad communication, to be the very thing that sets us off.  Find out how today.
