Have you had enough bickering, hurt feelings and emotional exhaustion this week?

Listen as Jo talks with psychologist and author Dr. Kevin Leman, and learn how to Have a Happy Family by Friday: How to Improve Communication, Respect & Teamwork in 5 Days. 

Dr. Leman discusses how to communicate well, maintain great attitudes, and determine the important role that everyone plays within the family structure.  Friday’s have never looked better!

Join us as we tackle these topics in our conversation:

•  What is a “powerful child”? Are we contributing to some of our household problems by making our kids into powerful children? If so, what can we do about it?

•  Families today don’t pay enough attention to the things that they should. Just look at the admonition in Proverbs 22:6.

•  The words that we say have the power to alter the trajectories of our relationships. We review some of the key differences between men & women in the ways they communicate and approach life.  The key to communication is getting behind the other person’s eyes and seeing the world as they do.

•  Are we keeping our kids too busy when it comes to their activities and extracurricular efforts?If you want a happy family, you need to slow down! It’s especially tough for moms to say no. Everyone wants a piece of you all the time!

•  One of the most significant things that our kids need is encouragement. They don’t care what you know until they know how much you care for them. Yet, alongside that they also need what the good doctor calls “vitamin n” – the word no. He paints the picture of a candid strategy for getting your young person’s attention when it’s necessary.
