Children are people, too.
Children are capable of communication which is alert and responsive.
Moreover, they are perceptive and sensitive to attitudes that adults have toward them. Quite often they are better able to read the adult than the adult may realize. Imperative in all attempts to communicate with children is the expressed genuine attitude of love and respect. When talking with children we should not be concerned about whether we are coming through, but how we are coming through. We also should be concerned that our approach and that content is positive.
