Successful Two-Way Communications with your Child
One of the most frustrating challenges we face as parents is interacting effectively with our child. Although we strive to open an honest two-way type of communication with our child, all of us become frustrated when it appears their attention isn’t exclusively on us or the conversation available. Yet we seem to find it is perfectly acceptable to discuss points with them while reading the actual paper, folding clothes, or working on the computer and then in many cases are left wondering when the outlines of communication broke.
Children are by nature easily distracted and not usually responsive to their environment. It’s the responsibility of the parent in order to emphasize positive patterns associated with communication and ensure the child discovers that ignoring communication isn’t acceptable. Early prevention, as educating your child about the proper forms of communication, is the key in order to ensuring that the non-verbal agreement doesn’t take hold. Teach your child by example. Remain completely and totally focused on them and the discussion at hand. Turn off the television; allow calls to go to the voicemail message, or go in a room exactly where there are no distractions.
Talk to your kid, and explain to them within age-appropriate terms how they are communicating and why their technique doesn’t work. Show your child how to connect effectively, even when the queries are hard. Make yourself an active audience. Let them voice their opinion or side of the story and ask questions to ensure you understand their viewpoint.
Be constant in the manner in which you communicate with you child. Send the same message with each and every conversation. Allow your child to see that you’ll call their attention to those times that the unwanted behavior shows its ugly head.
Kids will be kids and they will occasionally be distractive and non-communicative. You are the expert in knowing your child’s conduct and can best judge the advance in their communications. The best way to ensure healthy communication patterns would be to model positive communication skills.
