Day 12 - Hindrances to Listening - Filters

Marriage

• we all listen through filters but often we are unaware of them
• when someone is speaking, our own memories, attitudes, prejudices, physical environment, lack of interest, etc. all affect what we hear
• some of the time we are listening more to ourselves than to the other person
• effective communication requires us to control the conversation in our mind

Training our children for healthy independence

  • we don’t own our children
  • we are helping our children move from parental control to self-control
  • letting them go can be hard for parents
  • a gradual process over eighteen years
  • allow them to make their own decisions and learn from their own mistakes

unhealthy control can be caused by wanting to look good, fear of failure, stress, or perfectionism

How can you allow your children to learn from their mistakes while still protecting them sufficiently?
