30 Tips on how to talk to children
The way we speak to children has a big influence on their capacity to learn and listen to us. We are always modeling to children how to act and behave, and how we speak to them falls squarely into this category. The way we talk to our children and others shows how we want them to respond to us. In general, there are three ways for parents to communicate with their children. The first is an aggressive communication approach. These parents frequently shout, put their children down, and use derogatory language.
Their children may react in a variety of ways, including acting out, feeling afraid, shouting back, and disobeying their parents’ commands. The second type of communication that is usually encountered is the passive form of it. These parents speak to their children in delicate, cautious tones, while their youngsters frequently walk all over them. Unfortunately, many parents are so meek that when pushed to their limits, their tone might turn harsh.
Assertiveness is the third and most successful technique for parents to communicate with their children. Firm, constant, clear, positive, warm, and confident communication is assertive communication. Communicating assertively with your children demonstrates to them that their parents know what they’re talking about and that they should pay attention to what they say.
