Do you long for STRONG bonds with your kids and spouse? Bonds that stand the test of time? It is possible! Listen in as I dive into one of my favorite HAPPINESS hacks. The art of active listening is a simple tool for strengthening communication (and joy!) in Christian homeschooling families. Understanding each other is the key to any successful relationship, and active listening is a SIMPLE but BIG component of effective communication. Yay! We love it when SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE are combined, right?! We are SO done with overwhelm, chaos, and feeling like the family is out of control... so let's bring on the PEACE. Besides, it's a very Charlotte Mason style idea to foster deep connection and understanding through quality communication. There is no end to where we can teach our kids. Daily life is the perfect training ground. In this episode, I’ll share how you can encourage your family members to actively listen to each other, use open-ended questions, practice empathy, and provide positive feedback. By using these simple communication hacks, you can improve communication and promote family unity in your home. You will suddenly wake up to find you are living like those other rare HAPPY and bonded Christian homeschooling families you’ve always wondered about and admired! Grab your pen, notebook, and much of chai tea, and let's dive in! XOXO, Katie Connect with Me: https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeart
