Children are their parents' most prized resource,particularly nowadays parents have only one child.Therefore,parents give everything to their kids,sometimes they are spoiling kids.
However,things are not always like this."You never listen to me" is a complaint heard as often from children as parents.Good communication helps children and parents to develop confidence,feelings of self-worth,and good relationships with others.Try these tips:
Teach children to listen...gently touch a child before you talk...say their name.
Speak in a quiet voice...whisper sometimes so children have to listen...they like this.
Look a child in the eyes so you can tell when they understand...bend or sit down...become the child's size.
Practice listening and talking:Talk with your children about school and their friends.
Respect children and use a courteous tone of voice.If we talk to our children as we are good friends,our youngsters may be more likely take us as confidants.
Use door openers that invite children to say more about an incident or their feelings."I see," "Oh," "tell me more," "No kidding," "Really," "Mmmmhmmmmm," "Say that again,I want to be sure I understand you."
Praise builds a child's confidence and reinforces communication.Unkind words tear children down and teach them that they just aren't good enough.
Children are never too old to be told they are loved.Saying "I love you" is important.Writing it in a note provides the child with a reminder that he can hold on to.
Give your undivided attention when your children want to talk to you.Don't read,watch TV,fall asleep or make yourself busy with other tasks when talking with kids.
All in all,as parents,we should respect our kids and listen to them,talk to them as friends.We should alwasys be there to share with kids their joys and sorrows.
