DISC for Better Family Relationships
As a parent or caregiver, as a spouse or partner, there are no doubt times when your family unit needs some help.
Kids who "won't listen", a partner that dominates, or a spouse that hides away in her room everytime there is a conflict.
Kids and School
When it's school report time, you probably wonder how it could be that each of your children show such different behaviors at school. There's one who gets into trouble and doesn't concentrate in class - and the grades show it; another that chatters away and talks through each class and don't those grades suffer; and yet another that is a straight A+ student time and again.
Rather than sitting down to have those stern parental talks, what if there was a more rewarding way to talk with your children? One that shows you understand their needs, appreciate their fears, and lets you use language that each child 'gets' as relating to his or her particular style of personality?
DISC offers you that valuable method for communicating, really communicating, with your children.
Spouse and in-laws
We all know that relationships take work, and sometimes misunderstandings occur. Though we may not be able to avoid them, we certainly can put practical skills to use when it comes to resolving them, sooner rather than later.
DISC lets you speak the language that your spouse or partner can understand. It provides a safe and harmonious way to say things that create positive communication with each other. DISC is a great equalizer and because it is so easy to understand and apply, you and your partner or spouse can find a better way to reach out to each other in times of challenge.
What if it's the in-laws that are the cause of conflict?
The same thing applies. Instead of seeing those in-laws as the cause of conflict and the source of tension, you can use DISC to recognise why they are saying and doing what they are, and to use the communication skills of DISC to smooth the path to better relationships with the in-laws.
Families are unique, and the language of DISC helps you recognise how to communicate to each member of your family sincerely, positively and with the best intentions.
