How To Talk To Your Children

by Sharon Rose


Listening is an important part of talking to your children.


      Start with positive talking and listening. How your child "feels" about daily experiences, traumatic events, and the environment around him will be reflected in his behavior. Be prepared to talk to your child in a way to bring greater understanding to any situation and soothe fears away. If your child questions your authority, has a temper tantrum, starts a fight with a sibling, or is whiny and fretful all day don't react by yelling or becoming snappy and fussy. You will have missed a teaching moment. Importantly, start early in their lives having age appropriate talks during a relaxed time to build trust and a bond. Don't wait until there is a problem to talk to your child. Use this age-by-age-guide at the "source" we provide to help you get started and find a comfort zone for you and your child.
