Tips To Help You Communicate More Effectively With Your Child!

Parents…it’s time to communicate effectively! Making sure your children are feeling heard is a huge part of them feeling appreciated and valued by us.

Effective communication is when the person sending a message makes it clear and easy to understand, and the person receiving understands the message as the sender intended. In the real world, especially in families, this is not always easy to do.⁣

𝘚𝘖, here are some tips to help you communicate more effectively with your child!👇⁣

🔹 𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨⁣

🔹 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺 ⁣

Creating communication habits will only make it easier for your child to understand you, and you to understand them! They’ll be way more likely to come to you with a problem; and your relationship will grow much stronger. ⁣
