Dr. Wendy Walsh’s Response:
Dear Randy,
Guy, do i’ve suggestions. And I’m captivated to see dependence on technologies just isn’t limited by one gender. Normally men are those who won’t make a quick call.
The good thing is you are able to teach this lady. To accomplish this, you’ll need self discipline in order to prepare yourself she does not want many may walk.
Occasionally a reliance on book over vocals and face to face contact is actually a signal some body desires abstain from closeness all together.
The primary way to teach somebody to not ever text should just end replying to texts. If all the woman messages are being compensated by you texting right back, after that this lady has absolutely no reason to improve her behavior.
Nevertheless additional crucial portion occurs when she at long last really does telephone call, you need to encourage that good conduct with pleased communication.
You should not discuss that she FINALLY found the phone. Just get right into the pleased chat that she is used to.
For lots more precisely training a texter, please glance at the technologies chapter inside my guide “The 30-Day like detoxification.”
