Our fascination with screens cuts down on the face-to-face interaction needed in relationships. I see it in my kids and their friends. Their obsession with phones, social media, games and text messages is robbing kids today of basic communication skills necessary for relationships with others.
Even worse, I find myself lacking the ability and desire to listen. If I am losing these skills, it is inevitable that our kids will never have them. What skills are our kids missing out on? Here are 8 communication skills kids have lost or will lose if we don’t make some serious changes. 1. The ability to speak to others 2. The ability to think and communicate on the fly 3. Communicating with and reading non-verbals 4. The ability to be others-focused 5. Communicating with authenticity 6. Interacting Face-to-face 7. The ability and desire to listen 8. The ability to build an argument
