Family communication refers to the way verbal and non-verbal information is exchanged between family members (Epstein, Bishop, Ryan, Miller, & Keitner, (1993).In other words, an important part of communication is not just talking, but listening to what others have to say.Effective communication in the home will stay with children as they move through their lives. The communication skills of expression, listening and conflict resolution will affect their school, social and eventual professional life. They'll learn how to listen effectively, reserving judgment and showing empathy.
