Active listening is very useful for families. Family members often have bad listening habits.

Sometimes people tune out what family members are saying. They do this because they think they know what's coming next. They hear what they expect to hear, instead of what the person is really saying.

Children might think their parents are angry at them when they aren't. Parents might think their teenagers are being disrespectful when they aren't. Active listening helps people get past this problem.
