Description

Let's face it you will inevitably face tense conversations with your kids, where you will not see eye to eye. You may have noticed this more as your kids moved from pre-teen to teen to young adult. It's easy to slide in "I'm the Dad" mode, or dismiss what they bring to the table, to not see their perspective, to see that they are becoming individuals in their own right.  How we navigate these conversations is critical to fostering a safe harbor of conversation, it can also shed light on our own need to grow, evolve, and become better as a dad and even as a man.

Join me as I explore 5 areas that will help you develop Eyes to See, Eyes to Understand, and Eyes to Connect

1. Take time to listen - Shut your mouth and even shut the voice in your head that is chomping at the bit to respond
2. Share your experiences so that they gain a better understanding of why and where you are coming from. It's hard to connect or follow guidelines when you don't understand why. 
3. Be open to receiving and becoming more than you are today. Be a guide and explore with them.
4. Just because "you know" doesn't mean you know.
5. Always, always lead and end with love

I would love to hear your comments. If you have an experience you would like to share please reach out to me I would love to have you as a guest!
