One of the areas of life most under stress from commuting and a busy lifestyle is our financial well being. In this course we look at basic practical and spiritual tools for personal financial health. This course focuses particularly on the importance of a budget, and will encourage you to create your own basic budget to get your financnes under control.
The best way to enjoy the course is if a friend, or even better, anyone you live with watches or listens to the same content as you, so you can discuss the question when you’re back in one place. When you’ve been meeting in a group for a little while, register your group here.

We look at the role of listening and attention-giving in effective communications.
2. Learn to listen
• treat them like young adults (not children)
• Listen carefully to their views and feelings
Effective communication requires that parents
o learn to speak with their teenager rather than at their teenager (Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages of Teenagers)
o engage in discussion and be prepared to debate the issues rather than repeating Simplistic slogans such as “You're too young to have a boyfriend” or “drugs are dangerous”
3. Give your full attention
• recognize the important moments to listen and give your full attention
• don't try to listen to your teenager while doing something else at the same time
• maintain eye contact; observe your teenager’s body language
Question: When have you had your best conversations with your teenager?
