Hello again! I hope everyone is having another terrific week. I have some more news from the book, "Help me! I have a Teenager!!!" by Annie Drake, MA, RN, CS, LMFT. Did you know that sitting on the floor or going for a walk either around the neighborhood or the house is a great way to have a conversation with your teen?! This is especially recommended for those moments when things are a little heated. The reason for this is because while you sit on the floor you will calm down and it is hard to maintain an angry stance while sitting. It's would be an oxymoron - you can't have a stance while sitting. This is also great for siblings who are arguing. Have them sit on the floor to talk it out. She gives more in-depth advise on how to carry this out. Also, when you are walking around outside the conversations become less volatile. In fact, the two worst places to have a heated conversation with a teen is in our cars and homes. This is one reason she recommends leaving the house and going for a walk. It is a neutral place where we will less likely fall into programmed roles or patterned behaviors. She also discusses our teen's Emotional Climate which allows us to determine when and how to and not to talk with them. This is such an awesome chapter. It's so full of information I am taking notes left and right. So, today's freebie is Fall Bragbooks Page 4 and it's the first in the series from the Falling Leaves kit. I hope you like it. You can grab it here for the next five days :)
See you soon with another freebie :)
