Face to Face: Smart Conversations with Yourself, Your Teenager, and Your Young Adult

By Patti Pilkington Reed

Book Overview

We have smartphones, smart TVs, and smart cars. It's time to have smart conversations!

What do you consider the greatest challenge among parents and their teenager/young adult today? Patti Pilkington Reed, author, Conversational Intelligence(R)️ coach, and business leader affirms it is our inability to get face-to-face with our kids and have meaningful conversations; listening to what is really going on in their hearts and lives. Taking time to slow down and ask those important questions about their passions, desires, and dreams (not ours) will make all the difference in our growing and changing relationship for years to come.

Like most parents, you probably bicker with your teenager/young adult over how much time he/she spends on the phone and how much face time you actually have together. These days, most of us do.

Patti's aspiration for Face to Face: Smart Conversations with Yourself, Your Teenager, and Your Young Adult is to create an opportunity for parents to be intentional and courageous through conversation to discover the God-given greatness within each of their children. As a result, a relationship that is enduring, sustaining, and life-giving will emerge.

This book helps parents of older teens and young adults exhale and establish their own trusting and intimate relationship with God first and then their children.
