Cross-question When They Confide
Great conversations involve great interaction. Learn to ask them good questions while they are confiding. All the when, what, why, where, how questions are open ended and good. When you’ll ask questions to your children while they confide, it’ll make them feel that you actually are interested in their talks.
Don’t Interrupt While They Confide
When your not-so-little kid now confides about his day or any miscellaneous thing, he would be all excited to share every little detail. Make sure you don’t interrupt him, don’t be tempted to cut him off. Let him go for a while and then gently sit down and talk to him and ask questions. Just be careful not to douse his spirit!
Be Available So That They Can Confide
The most important of all, just be present when they need to confide something. If your children know that you are willing to listen them anytime, they would feel free to share things with you anytime. Never be busy for their chit-chat, else they’ll also be busy to confide.
Just remember that time invested in listening to your kids results in developing life-long relationships, and that my friend, is priceless!
