How to get your kids to listen with Dr Justin Coulson

We are listening role models for our kids. If our children don’t listen to us, we may need to begin with listening to ourselves.

In this episode, Oscar speaks with global parenting expert, Justin Coulson. Father to 6 daughters, TED talk speaker and author of 6 books. Justin answers the question, ‘How do I get my kids to listen?’

A great way to begin an engaged conversation is to start with observation. You can learn about listening by noticing. Learn the importance of eye contact, eye level and how this honours the relationship whilst expressing the desire to communicate.

Justin explains that parents may have to stop what we’re doing because we miss opportunities to connect with our kids if we never stop.
