How can I communicate better with my kids?

Effective communication with kids involves active listening, using simple language, and being patient. What age are your kids?

I have a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old.

For younger kids, use clear and simple words. Engage them by asking open-ended questions to encourage sharing.

What are some examples of open-ended questions?

You could ask, 'What was the best part of your day?' or 'How did that make you feel?' These invite more than yes/no answers.

Thanks! Any tips for handling difficult conversations?

Stay calm, validate their feelings, and encourage them to express themselves. It's important to create a safe space for discussion.
