Having one kid is massive learning experience, two is where you get your footing and have most of the systems down but number three is where you have to master one major component in order to ensure success... Master your communication style with different people. How you speak to one person can't be identical with another because of the numerous reactions one can receive. How I speak to my first born son vs my only daughter is completely different. Why? You have to account for their personalities and what's important to them. Case and Point: My son (7) - beautiful person, loves to communicate, but sometimes believes in his direction too much. When corrected, his focus is locked on proving his thought process is correct rather than if the information is actually correct. I have hear him out, then correct with either gentleness or authority. He respects both. My daughter (5) - Does not like to let me down. She is sweeter than sugar but also has a tough time taking criticism. Her heart of gold makes her believe things about people that aren't true. I have to get her focused on why she feels that way (by asking questions) and then walk her through to the reality of the situation. How you communicate and to who you communicate to is specialized. Know your audience at all times or else you'll be explaining something they don't care about, believe in, or are massively against. Be careful my friends. Also! Let me know if a free live training would benefit you at all!

It also makes them remember you and how you made them feel. Remember: Action causes change. Take action and practice talking to someone you are acquainted with.
