The H.E.A.R. Cycle: Developing and Improving Listening Skills for Teens (Signed Copy)
What is the H.E.A.R. Cycle and why is this the best self-help teenage workbook for listening? It is a cycle developed for hard conversations that you would rather avoid than participate in. However, we can’t avoid tough topics for long, as they may damage standing relationships, or damage yourself. Each letter is a skill needed for improving your listening skills. The H of the cycle stands for Halt. Before you can listen you must stop everything you are doing. Stop and listen with your E.A.R. Listen with E empathy, A attention, and R respect. Sometimes a conversation hurts or we need to process what was said and we return to the H, which in this case means to heal. When healing has taken place we can return to the conversation where the cycle begins again. This self-help workbook will take a teenager through each letter of the cycle to improve skills of listening.
