IC50 How to Talk to Teenagers - a podcast by Liz Scott
from 2022-04-19T09:20:23
What is the secret to connecting with young people? Have you ever felt frustrated because you find your teenager shuts down and is uncommunicative?
Marie Arymar works with children, young people and adults, sharing simple ideas on connection, resilience and wellbeing.
In this conversation she explains the four common barriers to listening - this includes:
- Criticism and judgments
- Chatter in the Head
- 'Yes but'
- Being Solutions focussed
Marie explains that young people don't want to be fixed, they actually want to be heard.
We also explore the 'mental health crisis' and explore whether Social Media is really as bad as it is often made out.
We see how the pandemic has (for some young people) been a blessing and we talk about Marie's simple, easy book 'Do you Want to Know a Secret?" which is perfect for young and old alike.
