Parenting Corner
In this final installment on communication with your teens let’s tackle the subject of having difficult conversations without creating misunderstanding or wounding the spirit of your teen. Consider these thoughts for the next time you find yourself in a difficult conversation without your teen.
In difficult conversations you can avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings by:
Being clear and specific about what you want.
Speaking in “I statements” (“I felt upset when …instead of “You always…”)
Staying focused on the problem rather than blaming or attacking.
Be willing to admit when you are wrong.
Don’t over-apologize. Taking responsibility is good. But if you’re not to blame, then don’t apologize. Over time, over-apologizing can be damaging to your relationship.
Don’t worry if you don’t always get it right. Communication is one of the most difficult parts of any relationship. Mutual respect, good listening, and empathetic understanding are skills we can all work on building. Keep on building and developing healthy communication inside your relationships. it will pay dividends for years to come.
