Getting to the Point: How to Quickly and Efficiently Talk to Your Kids and Still Get Your Message Across
I don't know about you, but when I was a houseparent, and now that I'm just parenting my own two girls (haha), discussions about behavior many times got, and gets, long-winded. Sometimes long conversations are necessary because you go deep.  Other times it can take longer than expected because other issues or questions came up that need to be answered and addressed. But all that aside, this week I'm going to teach you how to communicate effectively and efficiently with your children, especially when you need to discipline them. No one wants to sit there for an hour and drag the discussion out, especially our kids, however we, as parents, want to make sure that our point is made and our message is heard. I see your hand over there, so if you've got 8 minutes, take a listen and see what I'm talking about!
