47. The Power of Listening to Our Kids' Feedback With Les Harris
Manage episode 371579987 series 3389590
I’m continuing my conversation with Les Harris, wilderness therapist and LCW, who has some incredible insights to share about the importance of listening to the feedback our children give us.
Let’s start with an important reminder: none of us are perfect. We all mess up from time to time, and that's totally okay.
Now, here's a game-changer: listening to our kids' feedback. By truly hearing them out and understanding their underlying message, we can better meet their emotional, physical, and relational needs. This deepens the trust and connection between us, setting the stage for beautiful growth.
In this episode on listening to our kids’ feedback, we discuss:
- Beating ourselves up over mistakes we made as a parent and the effect this has on our parenting;
- Parenting from a place of action instead of reaction;
- The power of truly listening to our kids’ feedback;
- Embracing and validating our kids' wilderness experiences
- The magic of small steps for big change
- And more!
