50 | From 'We Need to Talk' to Honest Conversations That Build Connection (Part 1)

Описание: Every mom knows that moment—you say "we need to talk" and watch your teen immediately shut down, get defensive, or walk away. You enter these conversations with the best intentions, wanting to address their behavior and restore peace. But the way most of us were taught to handle conflict is just a bandaid to a deeper issue, and it ends up creating more distance.



Have you been listening more? Reflecting back what you’re hearing your teen say? Inviting them to share more? Then you’ve been laying a foundation of connection. Now how do you talk so they’ll listen? 



Stay tuned. In this first episode of a three-part series on parenting teens we’re talking about how we can build connection through the words we speak even in conflict. Terri will be sharing a game-changing framework that’s transformed how she communicates with her kids. 



What You'll Learn:




• The #1 reason your teen shuts down when you try to have hard conversations (and how to fix it)


• How to choose connection as your goal instead of confrontation


• The power of truth-telling with yourself before speaking to your teen


• Why anchoring in Christ's peace is the secret to transforming your communication skills
