Growing children go through a lot of emotional and hormonal ups and downs and so do parents. Communication skills take a lot of self, emotional and social understanding. It is also important that parents understand their own and their kid's
interaction style
and build their communication based on that. A few simple things that you can do on an everyday basis can include the following :
Talk about the day's activities.
Talk with your child about the books you read together.
Have conversation with your child about the TV programs and videos you watch together.
Keep books, magazines, and other reading material where kids can reach them without help.
Give your child a little space and freedom to express themselves and hear them out.
