From Mr. Nix
Proverbs 15:1 - “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
Communication is key in all areas of life and human relationships but none more important than the communication in the parent-child relationship. Over the next several weeks be looking for some practical tips that will help encourage strong, healthy communication in the home.
Ask open ended questions: It’s easy to ask your teen “How was your day?” It’s a common greeting we use with most people. But closed questions invite closed responses. When you ask a question that can easily be answered with a one-word answer, that is a closed question. Instead, ask open-ended questions that require your teen to respond with a full sentence, or more. Examples include: What was the best thing that happened at school today? What’s one interesting thing you learned in science/history/English, etc.? What do you think about what everyone is saying about _____? Why do you think _____?
When you ask open ended questions you are telling your children that you value and welcome their input and viewpoint. Give it a shot and start thinking about new ways to open doors of communication. You will be glad you did!
