As parents, we always want our children to be better and set higher standards for them. However, there are times when we need to be mindful of how we express ourselves, because if we are not careful, it can make children feel frustrated and lost. Today, I'd like to share some suggestions with you so that we can communicate with children in a gentler way!
1. Give encouragement instead of blame
Children need encouragement and support as they grow so they can face challenges with more confidence. When we identify the strengths of our children, we should give them encouragement and praise in time to make them feel recognized and respected. At the same time, try to avoid using blaming and critical language so as not to hit your child's self-confidence and self-esteem.
2. Listen to your child's ideas
When we communicate with our children, we should give them enough space and time to express their thoughts and feelings. Don't interrupt them, but listen patiently to their opinions and needs. By listening, we can better understand the inner world of our children and provide them with more intimate support and help.
3. Communicate in a gentle tone
When communicating with children, we should try to use a gentle tone and attitude. Avoid using overly harsh or commanding language, and instead try to express your suggestions and requests in a soft tone. Doing so will make your child feel cared for and supported, and it will also make them more willing to work with us.
4. Avoid verbal violence
Finally, we want to avoid using any form of verbal violence to hurt the child's feelings. Don't use derogatory, sarcastic, or offensive language to undermine your child's confidence and self-esteem. This will only make children more frustrated and lost, and can even have long-term effects on their mental healthDear parents, children need our love and support to grow and develop.
