Your early adolescent is now developing their own inner world filled with existential questions, temptations, and input from all sides, and you want to do what is essential to keep the doors of conversation open between you. But, sometimes they shut you out or shut you down. You might be left wondering how to approach a conversation that needs to be had without walking on eggshells.

In today's podcast, I'll be sharing the top 3 essentials to bring with you to any conversation - especially the tricky ones when you want them to open up to you. Without these essentials, there will be a lot of gaps that can be filled with misinterpretations, judgments, reactions, or defensiveness. These essentials communicate your ultimate goals: #1: you care, #2: you're there to support them, and #3: you see and hear them for exactly who they are. 

I've created a free PDF guide with these essentials, as well as simple prompts to get you thinking about what will work for you during your next conversation. Visit elevatedadolescence.com/podcast!
