- Active listening
Active listening in a family context involves fully concentrating, understanding, responding and remembering what is being said or the information being passed across. Active listening helps a child to fully express his mind and be heard/understood. - Explaining feeling
This is the ability of a child to develp emotional intelligence, it is important for a child to learn to express their feelings, it also helps to give absolute permission for all members to verbalise. - Non-verbal communication
This has to do with a diverse range of signals that goes beyond spoken language, when theres effective and quality communication in the family, the child would be able to also understand non verbal communication. He/she would be able to see sadness, happiness, warning and correction from the parents or siblings even in the absence of speech. - It helps to establish family routine
When there is good family communication, the family could happily plan a get together or a meeting where everyone enjoys the priviledge to freely express his or her mind.
