Parents - We prepare for meetings, don’t we? We prime ourselves. We make sure that we listen more than we speak. We try to really understand as much as we can about the other person. We nod our heads. We smile. We listen. We don’t try to fix them or make suggestions on how they could do better! So why do we frequently do the exact opposite with our children, teens and twenty somethings?
How about this famous teenage lament: “You never listen to me/you don’t understand!” We may be trying our upmost to listen, but our language and approach could be signalling the opposite to our teen. I help parents to find their own way to having better quality conversations at home. This results in greater openness, trust and connection and fewer door slamming moments! Teenagers-I help teenagers understand situational stress and anxiety, and teach them strategies, including mindfulness, to help them feel more resilient and happier. I help them to find ways of boosting their own self-confidence, and practical ways to prepare for interviews and exams. I offer a free initial 10 minute phone consultation so we can meet each other, and you can ask me any questions you may have about coaching. |
