Episode 1416
Today, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur discuss how listening is one of the most powerful ways parents can build connection with their teens. Many families struggle with communication because parents talk more than they listen — often teaching, correcting or giving opinions instead of asking thoughtful questions. Teens who don’t feel heard will seek that attention elsewhere, so parents must make intentional time to listen without judgment or interruption. Mark encourages parents and grandparents to show genuine interest and remember that one of the greatest acts of love is truly listening to your teen’s heart.
