Learning to Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Ears

Today, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd talk with us about what happens when parents talk too much and listen too little. They share the importance of inviting your teen to speak while truly listening to them, and how timing and atmosphere can make all the difference! Mark encourages parents to add value to their relationships with their kids by NOT always trying to fix everything, but by simply being the listening ear they're longing for. Tune in now!
