10 – WAYS YOU SHOULD TALK TO YOUR KIDS.

1. Be an active listener: Give your child your full attention when they are speaking to you and show genuine interest in what they have to say.
2. Use open-ended questions: Instead of asking yes or no questions, ask questions that encourage your child to elaborate and share more about their thoughts and feelings.
3. Create a safe and non-judgmental environment: Make sure your child feels comfortable expressing themselves without fear of criticism or punishment.
4. Use age-appropriate language: Tailor your communication style to your child’s age and understanding, using words and concepts they can easily grasp.
5. Be patient and understanding: Children may take time to express themselves or may struggle to find the right words. Give them the space and time they need to communicate effectively.
6. Show empathy: Try to understand your child’s perspective and validate their feelings. Let them know that you understand and care about what they are going through.
7. Use positive reinforcement: Praise and acknowledge your child’s efforts and achievements to boost their self-esteem and encourage open communication.
8. Set aside dedicated time for conversation: Create a routine where you and your child have regular one-on-one time to talk and connect without distractions.
9. Be a role model: Demonstrate effective communication skills by being respectful, honest, and open in your own interactions with your child.
10. Be supportive and non-judgmental: Encourage your child to express themselves honestly, even if their thoughts or feelings may differ from yours.
