About Talking To Brick Walls

If talking to your child has ever felt like talking to a brick wall, this podcast is for you!There is a vast difference between a scholastic researcher and an experienced practitioner. Would you want to be operated on by a surgeon who has studied your condition thoroughly but never done a surgery before? Or would you want to put your body in the hands of a skilled surgeon who has successfully done over 300 procedures like yours? While both are extremely important -- experience trumps research every time. Mike Donahue is an experienced practitioner who has also done his research thoroughly. With over 25 years of constant exposure to young people in school assemblies and trainings he has provided a listening ear to hundreds of thousands of students who have shared things with him that they have never shared with their closest friends or family. With uncompromising, “no holds barred” honesty, through this podcast, Mike addresses the issues head-on, with experienced counsel that is a game changer. Talking to Brick Walls is a new book that addresses the challenges of connecting to teens in this social media world. Go to www.mikedonahue.co/resources to order yours now.

Don't view your child's resistance to your thoughts as offensive. If they are talking to you about life, you have to see that as a good thing. Dialogue is important. If your goal is to just get them to do the right things, you are missing out on an amazing part of parenting. Giving them emotional breathing room to be honest with how they are processing life is such a good part of parenting.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
