The Silent Relationship Killer - NOT LISTENING (ep. 1-Things That Break Your Relationship With Your Child Series) Ep. 138
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of active listening in maintaining a healthy relationship between parents and children.

Interrupting, dismissing feelings, rushing to solutions, or minimizing problems can unintentionally teach children that their thoughts and emotions don't matter.
