We know if we want to be heard, we have to hear. Open ended questions set up opportunities to do so with our teens.
I help coaching clients practice them in targeted ways and they re-ignite deep connection with teens in the Back on Track Family Communication Model.
I love these relationship building questions from Big Life Journal. Try one or more and reply back about how it went.
(Helpful hint: Just listen to the response. No judgements about what they share and no lectures!)
Be brave and ask one or more of these questions for a closer relationship with your teen.
- What do you think about a lot?
- What do you worry about the most?
- When do you feel safe and secure?
- What do you like most about our family?
- How can I be a better parent to you?
