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.

Day 21 - Effective Communications Strategies Part III

We look at the role of reflecting back, responding appropriately and taking a long-term view in healthy communications.

7. Reflect back what they have said • say back to them what you think they are trying to express, particularly their feelings use some of their own words and phrases

8. Respond appropriately • give guidance and reassurance • they are likely to remember our words for years to come

9. Take a long-term view • sometimes any meaningful communicationwith teenagers can be a big struggle • difficulties are usually the result of a phase they're going through • try to create the conditions for conversation to become easier, at mealtimes; spending time with them doing what they enjoy; using their love language • if worried, seek professional help and/or medical support

Question:
Role play with another adult. Have them share a typical teenage problem with you, and reflect back what they’ve said. Go back and forth for a few minutes, then switch. What was easy or hard about this?
