Most people have more training before they receive their driver’s license than before they become a parent.
Educating yourself on how to communicate effectively with your child can be the key to achieving your parenting goals.
If you do not have children of your own, these 10 tips can help you whenever you are around children.
Draw children out to speak about the things on their minds.
Verbally reflect the emotions of a child before giving in to your need to teach them something
Teach your child to wait instead of interrupting your conversations
Play little games whenever you see children
Lower yourself physically to a child’s level by sitting down, bending down, or sitting on the floor.

Hold and play with a child’s toys or trinkets.
Tell short stories to children.
Follow up on the promises that you make to children with action.
Sacrifice some of your time to interact with children and to focus on them 100%.
Master the art of Socratic questioning.
This means that instead of expressing facts or lecturing that you ask a question to stimulate the child’s own reasoning process.
Socratic questioning opens up a place in a person’s mind for the answer to be remembered.
For example, you could ask, “How do you think we could take better care of the puppy?” instead of telling your child what to do.
