All very good advise. This one stands out for me.
“8. Never interrupt people while they are talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all.”
My two daughters are always doing that. I will be trying to tell them something and they think they know what I am saying before I even finish and they will start to give their response. What I was trying to say had nothing to do with their response. INFURIATING!!!!!
My husband does that. I tell him his interruption has NOTHING to do with what I was telling him.
