How to Learn to Hear Your Child: Tips for Moms and Dads
If parents want their child not to withdraw into himself, to share news and experiences, then they should build the relationship correctly.
In the modern world, not every adult can boast that he always has enough time to solve all the problems, but at the same time, moms and dads need to understand that they need to leave time in their daily schedule for children.
You need to show by your own example that talking about how your day went is right and normal.
At the same time, you should not immediately express demands, complaints or make comments while telling the baby.
There is no point in even thinking about caustic remarks and sarcasm in such a dialogue.
During the conversation, you need to establish eye contact and also use active listening. This technique will let the child know that you are really interested in the conversation.
You can ask additional questions at the end to better understand what exactly your son or daughter is feeling. You need to get to the heart of the matter so as not to devalue the experience, even if it seems like the experience is over a trifle.
It is important to remember that it is not always necessary to say something in response. In some situations, it is enough to simply be there.
