About this episode
Join Mark Gregston as he shares his heart with parents and grandparents. Today, Mark emphasizes that listening is one of the most powerful tools adults can use to build strong relationships with teens. He encourages us to set aside judgment, withhold immediate correction and engage in active, empathetic listening to truly understand a child’s heart. When teens feel heard, they’re more likely to open up and less likely to act out for attention. He reminds us that meaningful connection starts by creating a safe space where kids feel valued, not corrected or dismissed. Do you have a question for Mark?
