Are you Listening

I know you hear me, but are you really listening?

The easiest answer is yes.

But your children want to feel that you're listening.

Yes, it's weird.

Listening is a super power that parents often neglect.

We revert to what we've always done: talk without actually listening and over-powering our kids.

Today's challenge is to be quiet.

Listen you might actually learn something.

Larry King said it best:

Here are 3 reasons why you should strive to be a better listener:

1. Build trust

2. Creates a Safe Space

3. Gauges growth

Let’s take a look at each one.

Listening is one of the strongest ways of building trust with our children.

Listening levels out the playing field. It creates a safe space for your kids to hear and that's important.

Listening helps you pay close attention, making personal growth adjustments along the way.

Listening is vital to you and your kid's growth.

We can all be better listeners, but it takes practice with the end result being priceless.

Hope that helps.
