30 Days to Becoming a Better Parent Day 25: Talk To Your Kids

February 5, 2014 by dadofdivas 3 Comments

One of the most important things in learning a new language is to speak to others in the language and have others speak to you in the same language. Also, in reviewing numerous parenting books, language acquisition of infants is greater with those that are spoken to often.Thus, from an early age parents need to be cognizant of this and need to instill the importance of communication in their kids.

 

As your kids get older, this communication becomes that much more important. Through disciplining your kids when they are young (so they can learn, grow and understand). As your kids enter school and they begin to meet other children, every day is an adventure. Some days are going to be positive, and some days will be negative. It is critical you’re your kids feel comfortable enough to talk to you about their hopes, fears, and concerns regarding their experiences so that they can know that they can depend on your support and guidance to assist them as they need it.
Even older, as your children start dating, as a parent you hopefully will have set a strong foundation for two way communication to occur. You will not always agree with each other, but with a foundation built you still should be able to communicate with each other so that you both can understand.
As they get to adulthood, your communication relationship will change as it has throughout their lives, but the foundation you set when they were young will remain solvent and critical for your future relationship to continue to flourish.
In researching this topic I came across the following links that I felt would be valuable resources for you to access.
  • http://www.childrennow.org/index.php/learn/talking_with_kids/
  • http://www.talkwithyourkids.org/
  • http://www.parents.com/teens-tweens/communication/talking-to-kids/

Today’s task is to make a list of five things that you can do to better communicate with your children. Second, spend quality time with your children, talking to them and listening to their hopes, fears and dreams. Once complete with these tasks we ask that if you are so inclined please leave your responses in a comment below or link to a blog post if you are going to commit to joining me on this journey so that others can learn from you as well. Good luck with day 25 and I look forward to your thoughts and comments!
