3. KEEP THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION
OPEN
-Master the science of listening and the art of
responding.

Intelligent listening is a science. It is not enough to

listen to the words; we should understand the
feelings behind the words. It is not sufficient to hear
the voice; we should pick up the tone of the voice. It
is not just listening to the language; we should
interpret the body language, remembering that
communication is only seven percent verbal, 38
percent tonal, and 55 percent body language.
 Three types of responses
1. Judgmental response
“I’m condemning you”
2. Passive response
I’m listening to you
3. Reflective response
I’m feeling with you

5. RESPECT YOUTH’S FREEDOM CHOICE
-Sometimes parents with deep concern for
the welfare of their youth require quick
answers to vital questions. But big issues
need time. We must learn to let teenagers
take time to find answers to life’s great
questions. Here, patience is needed. The bible
says that we all ‘have need of patience”
Hebrews 10:36.
