If you’re the person who doesn’t stop to think…this will be helpful! “Our research suggests that pausing silently can be a simple yet very effective tool to help negotiators shift from fixed-pie thinking to a more reflective state of mind," said Curhan. "This, in turn, leads to the recognition of golden opportunities to expand the proverbial pie and create value for both sides.” If we expand our idea of negotiation to include parents👉kids, kids👉kids, etc…. I find a pause in a conversation/negotiation to be powerful. Being the one to initiate the pause indicates to the other person/group that the discussion is important enough to warrant extras thought. How do you use pauses/silence? https://lnkd.in/g69P4fF

This piece is SUCH a great way to start the conversation around "Kids today and social media." If you've ever started a conversation this way, been part of a conversation like this, or even thought that social media will be the downfall of our kids, this quick read if for you. Yes, there are dangers to consider but what's more dangerous is the blatant ignoring of ALL of the other things like: "But the thing that caught the eye of regulators was that mental health seems to have skyrocketed in recent years. I looked at this data and shook my head. My head swirled thinking about the pandemic, the rise in financial instability and food scarcity in some communities, the rising costs of college, the rise in visible hate speech, anti-trans and anti-abortion legislation, the fear kids have of a mass shooter at school, and a slew of other trends that I hear young people angst about. But apparently regulators preferred a different interpretation. They looked at this and went: “blame social media!!!”" There is so much here to consider but most of all I hope you'll consider the "systemness" of danah boyd's thinking. There is no one, easy "thing" to blame for the very real woes of our kids/teens. But we can start by recognizing the whole myriad of contributing factors and ask ourselves "What can I do to help my child?" https://lnkd.in/gaV5nsnm

Sometime around the age of 13 your kiddo/teen starts to question every thing you do, say, wear, etc and absolutely STOPS listening to anything akin to advice. Likewise, at that same time, their friends become their experts. Yep. That’s true too. Even more scary, our newest teens think that everything they need to know is on TikTok. Ugh. But here’s the thing..it is all normal. And I encourage you to acknowledge it with them. In this next phase you’re going to want to: 1. Listen more 2. Ask if they want your advice before offering it 3. Gently remind them that their friends’ life experience is just as limited as theirs…so they probably want to have multiple sources for information 4. Acknowledge that TikTok/social media absolutely holds some great tips/hacks, etc BUT that it’s SO important to know the difference between someone’s opinion and fact And remember this…they will come back around. For most, somewhere around age 19 or so, they start to realize that you weren’t an idiot after all and just might know some stuff. Hang in there. DM me for a quick chat!

Just read this quote by Elena Aguilar around coaching: "Coaching is so much easier when you trust your client to find solutions to their problems." Wow! Just wow! What if we replaced "Coaching" with "parenting" and "client" with "child/teen?" Then it would read like this: "Parenting is much easier when you trust your child/teen to find solutions to their own problems." Imagine if we did that for our young ones? Imagine if we started from that point rather than the point of being the savior? Imagine if we messaged that we have confidence in their ability to figure it out vs jumping right to having all of the answers. Imagine how empowered our young people would feel. Now imagine what they'll be capable of even when you're not around. There. I said it.
