Pt. 2: How to Shut Up & Stop Lecturing (So Kids Actually Listen To You) #449
Do you lecture because you feel like you’re letting your kids get away with misbehavior if you don’t say anything? How do you handle the teen who doesn’t say anything?! Is talking how you process or let off steam? Do you ever feel offended when it feels like your kids aren’t listening to you…because no one listened to you as a child? In Part II of this series, Kirk gives you practical ways to handle these situations and break these generational patterns.
