Communication Blockers – The Busy Schedule

Communication Blockers – The Busy Schedule

Aug 23

Our focus this month has been training children how to communicate.  This is one of the lessons that can branch out into all avenues of their lives.  We are going to spend this week discussing the different things that can become communication blockers if we are not aware of the potential problem and trying to place boundaries to prevent problems.

For many, the summer is a down time for the family. Because the kids are not in school there is extra time to do some fun family activities.  With the start of the school year, for some even this week, the family day to day activities begin in full swing.  Even if your children are not yet in school many churches kick off all of the fall events and small groups as well.  All this to say we are no longer in relaxed mode and for many the busy season begins.  It is so easy to look back during the holiday season and think, “wow where did the fall go?!”

This time of crazy schedules can really be a communication blocker if we allow it to be.  We must carve out time for family to be together and be intentional to take full advantage of those small moments we have previously discussed.  Sit down with your spouse and schedule in family nights if you have to.  Look for times daily to communicate with your kids.  Be Intentional!
