Biggest Takeaways:
- Everyone loves a good story - the human brain is literally wired to pay attention to stories, and to absorb the experiences of a story as its own.
- EVERYONE has a story to share – especially you!
- When you share your stories with your teen, you’re connecting with them on a different level than when you just instruct or inform them.
- While you don’t have to share all your stories, you can probably remember some that will help get your point across.
- Keep your stories short. More words = Less retainage.
- Don’t be thrown if your teen’s immediate reaction isn’t positive – your stories will affect them at some level – it’s how they’re biologically programmed.
- If you really can’t think of any of your own stories to share, talk about the ones you find in books and movies with your teen.
