  • The Value Of A Question (7-20-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Teens expect to be lectured, so why not try something new for a change…just ask questions.

    There is a lot of power in a question. Questions take some forethought, but they can lead a teenager to the same conclusion (as your lectures). And when they come up with the answers themselves, they are much more likely to act on them.

    So, ask questions…the kind that make them think about things, not just yes or no questions. Ask them how they would respond in certain moral and ethical situations. Help them think it through as a dry run.

    If you ever wondered what your teen is thinking, or how they will act, the best way is to stop lecturing and start posing questions.
