This article on ST today underscores the importance of having good conversations with our kids, especially their teens. In "How to Know a Person", David Brooks) says that "a good conversation is not a group of people making a series of statements at each other. (In fact, that’s a bad conversation.) A good conversation is an act of joint exploration." Instead of speaking with their kids, most parents are speaking to their kids. Through good conversations, our children will feel heard and felt. This is what every child needs. With regards to boys, they need a little help and urging. To help them increase their emotional intelligence, it helps to balance facts with feelings. Are you able to have good conversations?

Miscommunication between parents and children happens more often than you’d think. You may feel like you already know what your child is thinking. But assuming how they feel without really listening can lead to frustration for both of you. Take time to focus on what they’re saying, even if it’s about something small. Show them you care by giving full attention. This means putting down your phone and looking them in the eye. Letting them see that their thoughts matter builds trust and connection. When you listen, aim to understand your child’s concerns, not just to respond. Repeat what they tell you in your own words to check you’ve understood correctly. This shows you care and creates a stronger bond. Modeling good listening helps your family communicate with each other more openly. It also teaches your child how to listen to others. Over time, this improves understanding and creates more harmony at home. How do you practice listening with your child? Share in the comments or let me know what works for you!

Listening to your child is important because it improves your relationship and teaches your child that what he or she has to say holds value. Conversely, parents who do not listen to their children send a clear (but often unintentional) message that they are not interested in what their children are saying. Listening to your child is an essential foundation for those who wish to hear about problems in the future. Every child deserves to be heard. Children process their days by thinking about and retelling their experiences. As a good listener, you can help your children work through their feelings and their experiences.

Thank you Lisa Damour, PhD for posting this. Smart Gen Society is committed to educating parents on how to talk with their teens! I love this advice from the article: Consider saying something like, 'Talk to me about social media. Tell me what you like, and then tell me what you don't like, and then tell me what have you tried to minimize the downsides of what you don't like? And how can I help?'"
