YOUR WEEKLY FATHERING TIP: SHUT UP AND LISTEN

Posted By:

  • Encourage your children to tell you what’s happening.
  • Remove distractions (television, phone, computer, other people) where possible.
  • Often it’s not about solving their problems, so don’t jump straight into “fix it” mode.
  • Allow time for the conversation to develop – kids don’t always get to the key issues immediately.
