👨‍👩‍👧 Empowered Parenting for Stronger Families
Course overview
Lesson Overview

2.94 – Understanding Communication Avoidance: Communication avoidance often hides fear, shame, or insecurity. Understanding it requires patience and curiosity, not pressure. Forcing conversation can deepen resistance. Instead, create safe opportunities for voluntary sharing. Encourage journaling, art, or walks as alternatives to direct talk. Over time, avoidance lessens as emotional safety grows. Parents who meet avoidance with empathy show acceptance, not frustration. This builds trust and gradually restores openness. Recognizing avoidance as protection, not defiance, changes everything. Understanding it teaches that communication must be invited, not demanded.
