How to get your kid to talk to you with Safe Space Responses

Getting your kid to open up isn't about finding the magic question — it's about consistently not doing the things that make them go quiet. In this hands-on session you'll learn the four responses that shut children down and the four key ways to create safety that brings sharing.
Then you'll do the real work: applying this to your home, and your children.
You'll leave with three tangible outcomes:

1. an inventory of your own shut-down patterns (and how they are triggered)
2. a practical action plan for making Safe Space Responses your default response — not just your intention
3. a personalized Safe Space Response plan for each child

This is a LIVE ONLY session.  There is not a recorded option.
