Communication with Parents


Having communication with your parents is very important. Without no communication you wouldn't be able to understand each other thats why communication with your parents is very important. Familys that have no communication, always end up having problems with their kids,friends and other family members. If you wanna have a good relationship with your parents and family you have to communicate with them. If you have no communication with your parents then they will never understand you.

For example if have good communication with your parents and you are having problems with a friend and you dont know what to do, your parents can help you out. On the other hand if you have no communication with your parents then you will stress out more and have a hard time solving problems with your friend. Your parents may not be a person you would want to tell all your problems but when you need them they will be their for you if you communicate with them. A second example of why you should have communication with your parents is that when someone is bothering you they can go talk to someone in school and the problem would be solved.

Many young kids don't communicate with their parents. You can tell who those kids are. They are kids that don't care about their life and are doing bad in school. These kids are being bad because they have no communication with their parents and can make them feel that they are not loved. I have heard many kids talking about how much they hate their parents. Those kids as well have no communication with their parents. Parents have to put part in this to if their son or daughter is not communicating with them they should try to start a conversation with them and little by little they will communicate more often.

Their is parents that don't realize that they are hurting their kids by not communicating with them. Some parents are too busy with work, friends and going out that they forget about how their kids feel. When parents don't communicate with their kids they don't realize that they are making a mistake. Communication is very important in a family. Without communication no one would be able to understand each other. Now you understand why communicating with your parents is very important.

Here are some good tips of how to have good communication with your kids.


Teach children to listen... gently touch a child before you talk... say their name.



Speak in a quiet voice... whisper sometimes so children have to listen... they like this.


Look a child in the eyes so you can tell when they understand... bend or sit down... become the child's size.


Practice listening and talking: talk with your family about what you see on TV, hear on the radio or see at the park or store. (Talk with your children about school and their friends.



Respect children and use a courteous tone of voice. If we talk to our children as we would our friends, our youngsters may be more likely to seek us out as confidants.


Catch children and teens being good. Praise them for cooperating with you or their siblings, or for doing those little things that are so easy to take for granted.


Use door openers that invite children to say more about an incident or their feelings. "I see," "Oh," "tell me more," "No kidding," "Really," "Mmmmhmmmmm," "Say that again, I want to be sure I understand you."



Praise builds a child's confidence and reinforces communication. Unkind words tear children down and teach them that they just aren't good enough.


Children are never too old to be told they are loved. Saying "I love you" is important. Writing it in a note provides the child with a reminder that he can hold on to.


Give your undivided attention when your children want to talk to you. Don't read, watch TV, fall asleep or make yourself busy with other tasks.


Remember to have communication with your parents!
