Ep 122: Mastering Parent-Child Conversations with Negotiation Skills
Guest: Dr. Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.
Summary:
Can parenting advice be found in a book about negotiation? Surprisingly, the answer is yes! As I recently explored the book Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss, I discovered that the lessons I gained from this read not only improved my business negotiation skills but also offered valuable insights into parenting. Join me in this enlightening episode that will change your perspective on parenting conversations, arguments, and even interactions with your partner.
Being attuned to emotions is essential in both negotiation and parenting. Today, we discuss the power of empathy, inspired by Dr. Marc Brackett's book Permission to Feel, and its role in understanding our children's emotions. Learn how emotional awareness and labelling emotions can lead to more effective communication and better parenting. This conversation will undoubtedly transform the way you approach communication in both your personal and professional life. Don't miss it!
