How to communicate effectively with children can not only solve the contradictions in the family, but also promote the good development of parent-child relationship.
Here are some ways and skills to communicate effectively with children:
1. Listen to the voices of the children.
When communicating with children, we should first listen to their voices. Give children the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings and listen to their opinions carefully.
This can not only increase children's self-esteem, but also make children feel the attention of their parents, so they are more willing to communicate with their parents.
2. Avoid criticism and accusations. When communicating with children, we should avoid using the language of criticism and accusation. This will make children feel attacked, which will lead to communication failure.
On the contrary, you should express your views and thoughts in a gentle tone and respect your child's views and feelings.
3. Build trust with children. Build trust with your children and convince them that you are a trustworthy person. In this way, children will be more willing to communicate with you and share their thoughts and feelings with you.
Be honest and transparent. Don't lie to your children or hide the truth, which will make them lose trust in you.
4. Use simple and clear language. Use simple and clear language when communicating with children. Avoid using too complicated words or grammar, which will confuse children. Express your thoughts and opinions in plain language.
5. Give children enough time. When communicating with children, give them enough time. Don't rush to interrupt your child's speech or express your thoughts. Wait for the child to finish before responding, so that the child feels respected and listened to.
6. Encourage children to encourage children when communicating with them. Affirm children's efforts and achievements, and make them feel recognized and appreciated. This can increase children's self-confidence and have the courage to communicate with their parents.
In short, effective communication with children needs to be done with heart. Listen to children's voices, avoid criticism and accusations, build trust with children, and give them enough time and encouragement in simple and clear language. This can make communication with children smoother and more effective, and promote the good development of parent-child relationship.
