Stop, Look, Listen!
Steps to Better Parenting Communication 07/28/07
by: Rachel
Webb As a parent is seems that the majority of your day
is spent trying to get your children to listen to what you are trying
to teach them. Make them understand how to me a responsible child.
Convince them to make the right choices. Kids call these lectures.
Some parents call them friendly reminders or teaching opportunities.
Dean Rusks said, "One of the best ways to persuade others-
is with your ears!" There are three steps that may help you to
remember to use better listening skills can help you achieve more
effective communication with your child. Just three small words. Stop.
Look. Listen. STOP what you are doing. Put your child on your
lap or sit beside them so you are at their eye level. This tells your
child that they are important and that they now have your full
attention. LOOK your child in the eye. Maintaining good eye
contact during a conversation is a good way to recognize important
non-verbal behavior. Your child's posture, body movements and gestures
can tell parents a lot about how their child is feeling. LISTEN
and really hear what your child is saying. You can give your child
clues that you are listening bu nodding, smiling or raising your
eyebrows. These kind of communication signals will encourage your
child to open up to you and feel they are being understood.
