Living things communicate to fill their current needs. Humans routinely exchange up to five messages on three different channels to prevent or reduce discomforts. Paradoxically, we depend on commun-ication more than any other learned skill to maintain our comfort and relationships, yet few of us ever study how to do it effectively. To see how much you and your kids know about communication basics, try this quiz. Unseen psychological wounds and ineffective communication are key causes of the tragic U.S. divorce epidemic; low-nurturance paren-ting; and most personal, family, and social problems. Project 2 aims to raise adults' ability to fill daily needs by helping each other (a) learn communication basics and skills, and (b) teach them to their kids and interested others. Success with this over time depends directly on significant adult progress with Project 1 - healing widespread psychological wounds from low-nurturance childhoods. slides / more detail / Q&A / Project-2 index and guidebook / close |
