THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 243
In this brief but insightful episode, Dr. Shaw discusses how to be energy efficient when it comes to speaking with others. We are not going to speak the same with long-time close friends as we would with casual acquaintances. If you're observing a situation and knowing your audience, you will end up behaving and reacting the way the situation dictates... and that's not being insincere... it's just reality. Knowing when to stay silent, even when you have a lot to say, it's a practice of discernment. When teaching, Dr. Shaw always discouraged tattling as when a child tattles, they are focused on the negative and not the positive. If you are communicating with someone, you need to notice how receptive the other person is. If you are both open and receptive you will have an honest exchange. If you can't say what you want to say, it may just be not the right time to share it. You can agree to disagree... or you can remain open to learning from the other person. In turn, teaching your children how to navigate difficult moments in conversation would be very helpful in their growth and learning. If we can economize our words, we will be better communicators.
