Description
If we want connection with our child, they need to feel heard. In order for them to feel heard, we need to listen.  Joni Makkonen, a family and relationship counselor, talks about things he's learned from years of listening to families and couples.  If we want to be there for our children through the challenges involved in staying on a path towards healthy sexuality, we need to give them a safe space to express themselves.
