When parents are working hard to improve family communication, it's important to understand the role that introversion and extroversion might play. 

As you may know the definition of an introvert is a person who gets energized by being alone. They tend to think through problems first before saying how they want to resolve a problem. An extrovert gets energy by being with other people, and they typically talk through problems out loud.    

Sometimes in families communication issues arise because one member of the family wants to talk and the other member is not ready.  Giving each family member a safe place to talk when he/she is ready is a respectful way to foster continued communication.

Divorce can be a time of grief for a child. Parental turmoil, different discipline styles, re-arranging schedules, and more can add additional stress.  Learn the common pitfalls, how to communicate better with your child, and improve harmony and behavior by acknowledging the emotions in the family.
