Mentioned below are the strategies that parents use to encourage children to communicate with them:
Communication between parents and their children is an important part for building an effective relationship. The way parents communicate with their child is how the child reciprocates to his or her parents. It is also the way they start to view themselves. But sometimes the communication process is complicated when the parents can't get their child to talk to them. To make it work, parents follow the strategies below:
The feelings they develop for parents at a young age are the feelings that will decide the future of their relationship.
Saying things/terms that can be easily understood by the child and doesn't require further explanation or definition.
When the child is communicating, ignore any potential distractions so that they can trust their parents that they are listening effectively.
A slightly open mouth means the parent is ready to interrupt what the child is saying. This makes the child feel that he or she is not being heard.
Making sure that there are no distractions in the communication process builds trust in a child for the parent and they tend to communicate openly, effectively and often.
