FC 020: Talking to Your Kids So They'll Listen and Open Up - Guest: David McQueen (September 19, 2010)
21st century parents frequently miss opportunities to take the lead and maintain meaningful connections with their tweens and teens. Of course, it's not all our fault. Teens don't encourage dialogue, at least not with us! In this podcast I talk with David McQueen, educator, international speaker, and blogger extraordinaire who's a master when it comes to teaching adults and youth alike to build up their communication skills.
