Summary: Helps parents communicate better with their children. New books gives parents and children an opportunity and purpose to talk about real life moral and ethical issues
Reading and interacting with your children helps to improve their listening and communication skills. Listening, the most important skill in establishing interpersonal relationships, is one of the least taught language skills.
Businesses consistently rank listening among the top five skills they expect new employees to possess. Just as good verbal skills are important in any setting, being a good listener is the other half of any effective two-way communication.
Good listening is a skill that can easily be practiced in the home. Parents and children will become better listeners and communicators through the use of the following techniques:
* establish good eye contact * create an interest in the topic * establish a purpose for the communication * interrupt only to ask questions about what is being said * provide verbal/nonverbal feedback * share listening and speaking roles * really focus on what the person is saying and anticipate/evaluate the statements made
In his book, Listening to the Mukies and Their Character Building Adventures, Dr. Robert Bohlken, Ph.D., lets the Mukies provide the basis for an easy exchange of thoughts, feelings and ideas. These noble, yet strong and compassionate characters learn why listening and communicating with others is vital. The book gives parents and children an opportunity and purpose to talk about real life moral and ethical issues.
