Question

What are at least three techniques that parents can use when they are communicating with a child about a mistake or misbehavior?

Answer 1

1. Listen with care and respect. By doing so, the child will be able to speak without interruptions, and the parent will be able to pick out the main themes of the child's story. 

2. Give their full attention, for example by turning off their electronics. This way, the child will feel like the parent truly cares.

3. Help provide a solution to the child's problem. This will give the child some relief.
