Communication Tips for Parents
- Before you start to talk, try to be clear about what you want to communicate and why
- Be open to learning from them. Show you are willing to really listen
- Don't interrupt when they are talking
- Avoid questions which can only be answered with a 'yes' or a 'no'. Instead invite them to give an opinion or explain what's important to them
- Whenever possible, assure them that you will respect their confidence and privacy. Ask them to respect yours
- If you want to give them advice or guidance, explain the reasons
