Hunter talks to Oren Jay Sofer about How to Talk to Kids.

What are some of the pitfalls to avoid when talking to kids? When communicating in general? In this episode, I talk to Oren Jay Sofer, author of the new book, Say What You Mean, which brings together mindfulness and NonViolent Communication. Learn simple yet powerful practices to develop healthy, effective, and more satisfying ways of communicating.

Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. Two questions that will transform the way you talk to your kids 2. We live with cultural messages so deeply embedded we’re not aware of them 3. Communication patterns are physical and encoded in our nervous system
