In this two-part series, we’re exploring one of the most important - but often overlooked - skills in parenting: truly listening. In Part 1, you’ll uncover the common communication roadblocks that get in the way of connection with your child.

 

When our kids come to us with big emotions, our first instinct is often to jump in with advice, solutions, or even corrections - but these well-meaning responses can shut the conversation down. 


This episode will help you become more aware of those moments, so you can start creating a safe space for your child to open up, be heard, and feel truly understood.
