Listen to your children

Listening to your children gets results all round. And we are talking about really listening, not just going through the motions while you are cooking or cleaning the kitchen. The children always know when you are doing that.

The child who feels listened to, feels valued, worthwhile and respected. You are boosting their confidence, encouraging them to develop their communication skills, process thoughts and deal with emotions. The parent who listens earns trust, learns what makes their child tick and shares experiences and emotions.

And as an added bonus, if your business designs fun, educational toys, the children can add value – real value. Especially as they get older, they have views, they are honest and they can have some really good ideas. Most importantly, they think outside the box that we adults often get boxed into. Thanks, boys!
