Absolutely! And starting when they’re young is also key 🙂

Ha! And we’ve all done the pretend listening for sure 🙂

Sometimes it takes hard work to truly listen especially when we are in the middle of doing a million things. But I try to make a real effort now, because my kids now know when I’m truly listening or when I’m just saying ‘uh-huh’ (pretend listening).

Humor is one of the best tools (weapons?) I have in our house, for sure 🙂 It quickly changes the game for everyone.

Exactly! Talk AT kids just isn’t the way to go. But talking to and WITH our kids will teach them how to be better listeners and communicators.

I love the humor idea and I completely agree with the show appreciation point. Lots of parents expect kids to just listen to them while they are barking orders without saying please or thank you. If we expect our kids to have good manners, then we need to do the same to them.

I love that you emphasized the idea of listening to your kids as well. You’re right it’s very hard to do that, especially on a busy day, but it’s very important to teach by example…especially to smaller ids. They absorb everything–behavior included–like a sponge. Thanks so much for such an enlightening post to share with us on #shinebloghop. I’m so glad you were able to join us this week, Jennifer 🙂
