🎙️ When Silence Speaks

Short answers. Rolled eyes. Closed doors.

If you’re the dad of a teenager, you know that kind of silence — the kind that leaves you wondering what happened to the kid who used to talk your ear off about Minecraft builds, skate tricks, or the latest youth group story.

You ask how school was and get:

“Fine.”

Anything interesting happen?

“Nope.”

Wanna hang out later?

And just like that… conversation over.

The door closes. The headphones go in.

And you’re left sitting there, wondering what went wrong — or worse, what you did wrong.

Here’s the truth: silence doesn’t mean they’ve stopped caring.

It’s communication — just in a language you might not recognize yet.

And when you learn to listen differently, silence becomes one of the most powerful opportunities you’ll ever have as a father.

🧭 What We’re Talking About in This Episode

In this week’s episode of The Positive Legacy Podcast, Dan explores the deeper message behind your teen’s distance — and how Christian fathers can move from frustration to connection using faith, empathy, and Positive Intelligence (PQ) tools.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize that silence is communication — and what it’s really saying.
• Stay curious instead of critical when your teen withdraws.
• Listen beyond words by paying attention to tone, timing, and presence.
• Lead with calm, grounded presence instead of quick reactions.
• Use PQ tools to stay connected and spiritually centered, even when emotions run high.
• Combine Biblical wisdom with practical coaching techniques to rebuild trust and safety.
