You may be ready for a nice slow waltz when your child is jamming to a heavy metal beat. First, realize that all families have communication problems. Children and parents have their own personalities. They think, talk, and express themselves differently. It takes work to communicate so everyone understands.
Communication is important.
It builds a sense of belonging to your family. Sometimes it can be easier to make decisions for children than to listen to their ideas. But it s important to listen to children and to solve problems together. By listening, we show children their ideas and abilities are important. Listening sounds simple, but active listening can be hard.
