Your Kids Are Watching You - 75

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

You know that your kids are watching you, right? They are watching and learning from you how to communicate from the time they are little and well past the teen years into young adulthood.

 

Last week we finished up the series Knowing Your Strengths. We spent four episodes talking about what strengths are, how to discover your strengths, understanding your strengths, and how to use your strengths. You can listen to that conversation in episodes 71, 73, 73, and 74. That series then made me think a little more about how strengths tie into my life now and a recent situation. I needed to talk with one of my daughters and we needed to be able to speak face to face, eye to eye. So I sent a text to set up the meeting.

 

Listen to the story of that conversation and how strengths can help you be set a solid foundation for relationships with your kids and communicating well. Read the full show notes here: https://conniealbers.com/your-kids-are-watching-you/
