How to Have Hard Conversations With Your Children

from Seeking Simplicity · host Louise Cartwright

Poor communication can destroy relationships and when those relationships are in your home, it can feel like you're trapped.  I'm sharing this episode with you today because the relationship with my eldest daughter completely broke in 2021.  She was also a highly sensitive child but as she got older, her temper became volatile and my husband and I found it harder and harder to communicate with her. Suspected ADHD and smoking weed exacerbated the situation and we were at our wits end.  In this episode today, I share in full transparency what happened and how I totally didn't handle it well at all. But we do the best we can with what we have, right?  And then I share the exact framework I used to rebuild our relationship and, I hope, help my daughter see that there is a different way of experiencing life.  I would be so appreciative if you could pop to Apple and leave me for a review and if you'd like to join my community, you can join Seeking Simplicity Here.
