Has anybody heard this saying: “The quickest way to get your child’s attention is to sit down!”.
Sometimes it is ‘unwanted’ and you just need to sit in peace and not be nagged but this time I wanted to engage with my 14 year old child and find out what’s been happening for him over the weekend he was away. Usually you get the typical answers like “good”, “yep”, “ok”, “what?”, ”yeh”….. but because I took the time to sit and listen to him when HE was ready to talk – it helped both of us. I got to hear about his great weekend and he got a listening ear. Win/Win.
Try it….let me know what happens!!!
