Heal Conflict and Transform Adversity into Opportunity
An interview with Psychologist Dr. James Sutton — a plain-speaking expert who offers a fresh approach to child behavior. He has helped thousands repair and rebuild relationships with their children. Parents want to communicate and relate to their children in a manner that is natural and comfortable. In today’s high-pressure and fast-moving world, however, “natural and comfortable” can be tough to achieve. Children often act out their unhappiness in ways that create difficulty at home and school, adding even more stress and strain on the family. This guest offers real and doable solutions. Sutton will discuss the following topics and more:
1. Why is communication with our children more difficult than it was a generation or two ago?
