Identifying Negative Strangleholds in Your Relationships /Essential Skills for Navigating Tough Conversations with Teens

from Focus on the Family Weekend · host Focus on the Family

Defining the biblical term "shalom" as "breaking the hold of chaos," Dave and Ashley Willis describe how you can cultivate shalom in your home as well as in your relationships – particularly by breaking "strangleholds" caused by people who are overly needy. Our guests also discuss the pursuit of shalom in marriage through the careful and deliberate management of conflict. Also, parenting teens often means navigating some of the most challenging conversations families face—from broken trust to friendships and dating. Tim Shoemaker and his son Mark offer practical, grace-filled guidance to help parents communicate well, build trust, and strengthen their relationship with their teens. You’ll discover how listening well and responding with wisdom can turn difficult moments into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.Peace PiratesWhat to Say and How to Say It to Your TeenHow's Your Marriage Doing?Match Your Parenting to Your Kids' Needs
