Peaceful Parents — Happy Children

— People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. … I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive — said Joseph Campbell.

Young people want parents to listen more, be more fun and relaxed, be more respectful, and to be less judgmental and more honest. Active listening means we repeat what we think we understood even if we don't agree, including feelings, so the other person can check for accuracy. We don't assume we know what the other person is feeling. Good communication aims to understand underlying needs and motivations, which may not be conscious. We pay attention to learning about different temperaments and personality types, which helps us be understanding and therefore more patient.
