MAKE IT EASY FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO TALK TO YOU:
Be quick to listen, slow to speak.” You want your children to feel that they can talk to you freely. They must know that you are ready to listen when they need to speak. Create a peaceful environment so that they will find it easy to express themselves. If they think that you will be harsh or judgmental, they may not be truly open with you. Be patient with your children, and frequently assure them of your love.
