5 Communication Tips That Work on Teenagers

 

(From an Ex-Hostage Negotiator)

One practical tip per day, delivered to your inbox for 5 days.

​

Five days. Five techniques.

 

Each one takes 2 minutes to read and gives you something specific to try.

Day 1:  The 90-second rule. Don’t react. Respond

​

Day 2: The No-Choice Choice

​

Day 3: Side by Side, Not Face to Face

​

Day 4: Connect Before You Correct.

​

Day 5: Reflect - Don’t Rescue. Before you fix it, name it.​

​​​​

These are not random ideas.

 

They are adapted from techniques used in hostage and crisis negotiation, the highest-pressure communication environment there is.

 

Nicky Perfect spent 20 years learning what works when everything is on the line. Now she teaches parents how to use those same tools at home.
