What's your communication style?
Thank you for your interest in the Communication Styles Assessment!
Your communication style has a direct impact on your parent-child relationships. Unfortunately, many of us grew up never really understanding how to manage our emotions and find it challenging to keep calm when our children do something that upsets us. We find that we are quick to react to their behaviors by yelling, criticizing and even using physical punishments. This becomes a negative cycle that leaves us feeling guilty and damages the relationship that we have with our children.
he first step in breaking this cycle is becoming aware of your behaviors and habits that influence the way that communicate with your children. Even if you find that you are very reactive and quick to give harsh punishments, you can change this behavior and and parent with more empathy, understanding and calmness. You can learn how to communicate with your children in a healthy and productive way.
