Communicating Effectively with Your Kids

Shaloo Munjal verma
There are two ways in which you can communicate with your kids. The first one is the superficial way which is just talking and not going deeper into the conversation. In this manner you can never reach the precious and deeper layers of of your child's thoughtful mind. The second and the more meaningful one is to try to go to the deeper layers and experience the beauty of his/her soul. In order to achieve this you need to show your child the inner layers of your soul. This will surely open the channels of communication with your child.

Sometimes you may feel that your kids are not listening to you. Maybe its because they feel that you don't listen to them and they might have picked up the habit from you. You need to listen to them with full attention. For doing this you need to make use of not only your ears but also your brain. You require complete concentration. Listening to a three year old chatterbox may drive you crazy at times but if you listen carefully to your child, you convey a message that he is important and also that you care for him. Give your child a chance and you can learn a lot from him/her. In this manner you will know your child better and your communication with him will become much more effective. If you become a good listener then your child will surely learn to listen to you. All this will result in love, acceptance and understanding with your child. In this manner you can find the hidden treasure in the form of his/her innocent mind.

    Communication with kids
    Make the Time for Kids. In today's complex world, it's even more important to make sure you set aside time to talk. That doesn't mean you have to hold a formal meeting. Sometimes the best discussions take place while you're driving the car or puttering around the kitchen. Always Listen to their Little Stuff. Kids will talk to you if they know you're going to listen – whether they discuss heavy issues such as sex and drugs, or everyday things like schoolwork. If your kids know you're listening, they are more likely to trust you enough to talk about everything in their life. Try toListen Between the Lines. Because a lot of kids find it hard to talk to their parents about things that really matter, parents have to pay special attention to what their kids may be trying to say. It helps to pay particular attention to emotions – not just the emotion itself, but its intensity, too.
    Always ask for their Opinion. Few things please children
