Watch How You Say And What You Say
The tone of voice is important therefore always remain calm to avoid agitation.
Avoid Long-Winded Sentences
Ideas and speech should be short and direct to the point.
Use Ordinary Language
Speak in a normal manner used when conversing with another adult.
Minimise Lecturing Or Preaching
It would put the child of or discourage him/her from speaking to you.
Be Sensitive
Allow your child to speak up whenever he/she is confortable with it. It is better to wait then to force him/her to talk.
Listening To Your Child
Show interest by putting aside what you are doing.
Provide encouragement.
Ask appropriate questions and not bombarding them with too many.
Try to appreciate the way your child views the world and his ideas.
Observe and pay attention to your child's actions
Listen carefully to what he/she has to say as there might be an underlying message.
Let your child know that you understand his/her feelings so that it will be easier for them to confide in you.
