Secret #3 A Mother Who Listens Shows Her Children They Matter
For Mothers: Pay Attention
Benefit for Kids: A feeling of significance and self acceptance
We need to listen, really listen to our kids. Get at eye level, make eye contact, stop everything else and listen with a full presence. Offer encouragement, acklowledge feelings, and provide assurance. This is also a great reason to have family meetings to talk about concerns and stay in touch with what is going on as they get older.
