Giving Attention to Children [#14626]

August 19, 2021

Question:

How can we enable a child to listen better and to become more involved? How can we get a child to form a bond of communication [with a parent], as opposed to the child communicating through crying or fighting? This is how my child is acting [so how can I change this?].

Answer:

Your main relationship with your child should be through giving her attention when she is talking to you, and not when she is crying to you.
