Communicating Through Every Developmental Stage
Course overview

Inside this course

The way you talk to a four-year-old should not be the way you talk to a fourteen-year-old, and the way you talk to a fourteen-year-old should not be the way you talk to a seventeen-year-old about to leave home. Yet many parents keep using the same handful of phrases, the same tone, and the same expectations of a conversation for years past their usefulness, then wonder why what once worked has stopped landing. This course walks through four developmental windows — early childhood, the middle years, early adolescence and late adolescence — and gives you the specific shifts in language, timing, and role each one requires.
