Problem - parents don't usually accept their children's feelings. Steady denial of feelings can confuse and enrage kids. What is just as interesting, is that many parents do not think that they partake in these types of conversations. Some professionals suggest that parents should take time out and analyze their conversations with their children. They should try to highlight instances where the child may be stating a feeling, and where they, the parent, are not acknowledging such feelings.
Child starts to stamp their feet.
You already have ten like it. I need this one. Many arguments between parents and their children may in fact start with a child stating a feeling that goes unrecognizing. Listen with full attention - this does not mean half listening, watching television, or trying to write something while your child is talking to you, it means eye contact, and paying full attention to what your child is saying. This type of attention will send the message to your child that what they have to say is important.
