REPLAY - Unlocking Effective Communication Between Teens and Parents
This is a REPLAY from episode 77 first published in October 2023.
It’s so important for parents to have effective communication with their teenagers and using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can help. Kate and guest Jeanine Mouchawar discuss how understanding your own and your teen's personality type can improve communication and reduce conflict. Jeanine shares a five-step process for effective communication: calming oneself before a conversation, stating observations without judgement, getting curious about the teen's feelings, validating their feelings, and asking for their ideas to make better choices.
Jeanine emphasizes the importance of removing the word "why" from conversations as it often puts the other person on the defensive.
