Communication: Parental behavior

It has to be recognized that sometimes parents are just as bad as their children when it comes to not disconnecting from their electronic devices, and this sets a bad example for the kids. It is very important that if your child is trying to talk to you, that you make the time to listen completely and that may mean putting down your device and actually looking at and listening to your child when they need to speak, and not when it is convenient for you. Listening sincerely makes children feel that their parents are interested in them.
