How to Improve Conversations with Your Teens and Young Adults with Patti Reed | Episode 88

Have you ever heard the term “conversational intelligence?” I hadn’t before, but my guest today is an expert in it! Too often, parents of teenagers or young adults miss out on connecting because we aren’t approaching conversations in the right way. We have a tendency to lecture rather than listen, to tell rather than ask, or be controlling rather than curious. I know that last one has often been me as a parent!

My friend, Patti Reed, is joining me today. Patti is a certified coach in Conversational Intelligence®️ and is passionate about helping others improve their relationships through intentional communication. Her new book, Face to Face, helps parents approach conversations with their children with courage and intentionality to forge a healthy relationship with them.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What it means to have Conversational Intelligence®️
• The biggest mistakes parents make when talking to their young adult children
• Why it’s important to trust God with your child’s future
• What to do when your children tell you something you don’t agree with

There is so much wisdom packed in this episode! Listen in!
