To be a good listener in your family
Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don't r listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.
When listening to a family member, it's important to stay in the situation to make your family member f he is heard. Remember to put your phone away and give them your full a. Just think about the speaker's words instead of what you'll say next when talking. Wait for a moment when the speaker stops. This will allow you to make sure w they have completely finished. Everyone wants to feel valued, so try to talk about your feelings or t after the speaker finishes. For example, "So, it sounds to me like you're a little sad with mom b you feel like she is not treating you like an adult." This can help you make sure you u the speaker.
Besides these, there are also some "Don'ts" you should remember while communicating with family members. First, don't start talking until the other person has finished. Second, don't offer advice u you are asked if someone just wants to talk. Third, don't change the subject even if it may make you feel unhappy, let your family member e themselves clearly. Fourth, don't hurry the speaker along. Never say things like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you have never enjoyed the conversation. A these "Don'ts" will help you and your family communicate better.
