Ways to Create Good Communication
1. Try to stop what you’re doing and give your
full attention when your child or partner wants
to talk to you. If you can’t give your full
attention, let the other person know when you
can.
2. Leave a note in your child’s lunch box so that
he knows you’re thinking of him.
3. Have family meals together as often as
possible, at the table with the TV off. This is a
time when you can share what’s happening in
your lives.
4. When emotions run high, talk to your child
about what they’re feeling and ask them what
they need.
