I Know The Damage Miscommunication Can Have on Parental Relationships

Kathy Imabayashi, M.Ed.

Like too many other adult children, miscommunication robbed me of more than a year of connection with my own father. The power of talking and listening is always strong and can have tremendous impact on our relationships. I wish I knew then what I know now! Parents want to stay connected with their children and sometimes our lack of skill in communication sabotages that. By becoming aware of the pitfalls and developing better strategies and skills, we have a much greater chance of staying truly connected with our children, forever.

These are the most frequently asked questions about Talking & Listening To Children:

  • I am a really busy parent and time is not something I have a lot of. Just how much of a time commitment is this course?

    You can binge and do this course in one sitting or dribble out the 7 modules when you have the time. Each module's video is short - knowing how busy parents are! - averaging about 5 minutes. We can all find 5 minutes! The time investment is around implementing the strategies and understandings you get from the module. That can be paced at whatever is comfortable and convenient for you. Once these practices become habits, you will find you have more time since your communication will be smoother with your son, and you will be spending less time with conflict.

  • There is a lot of FREE material out there about communication. Why should I invest in a paid course?

    Here is the scoop. There is lots of information out there but not all will be focused particularly on boys, or shared by someone with more than three decades of personal learning and growth on the topic as well as four decades of actual in the field, first hand experience. I know what I am talking about and you will have it all in one place.
