Rejected to Accepted: Saving Parent-Child Relationships
Counter-intuitive strategies from a child who reconnected after two decades of rejection.
Conflict resolution and communication strategies for parents who are rejected by their children after divorce, custody battles or life change. Go inside the child’s mind and learn how to reach them from the real-life experiences of a child who rejected a parent for over 2 decades until they reunited. Most rejected parents try to “tell it like it is”, “set the record straight,” and dig in with their argument hoping their child will see the truth and it backfires. The problem is that most parents use their own logic, instead of their child’s. To make progress parents need to accept their child’s reality and begin to communicate from that place - meet them where they are and then work to change their perception. This presentation is completely counter-intuitive because it’s based on the real-life experiences of Ryan Thomas losing the relationship with one of his parents for over 2 decades and finally reuniting. He brings an inside perspective of of what to say, what not to say and exactly how to rescue and repair your relationship. This behind-the-scenes insight is why parents in over 25 countries have been having breakthroughs and saving their relationships. Ryan’s engaging, hopeful presentation gives audiences a clean slate to re-imagine what’s possible for their relationships. Packed with relatable stories and real-life strategies that can be implemented immediately, this presentation delivers. Participants will leave the presentation with: 1. A communication roadmap to follow of what TO say, what NOT to say, how to respond instead of react, and timeline of when to say it. 2. A step-by-step process to depressurize any situation or conflict by validating the child’s emotion, being the opposite of what they expect, and asking for their contribution. (VOA Method currently being used in over 25 countries) 3. Understanding myths and mistakes to avoid that can cause major setbacks, and how to reset the relationship and rebound from past missteps. 4. Knowing how to positively shift the dynamics in a way that makes your child think that YOU have changed, releasing their defensive walls so they listen to you again. 5.
