This week let’s pay more attention to how we are listening to our spouse, partner, and children.  As Simplicity Parenting Group Leaders we invite the group members in the 7 Session Course to listen to their fellow participants with “soft eyes.”

What does it mean to “listen with soft eyes?” Often we might not realize that our nonverbal communication is misinterpreted or speaks volumes about what we really think about what our kid is sharing with us.

Simply softening your gaze, relaxing that wrinkle between your eyes – this calm listening expression allows you to shift and become more intentional about hearing what is being said and how you will respond.
