Parenting: Teaching Communication Skills to Younger Children - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats.
I think when I talk about mirroring, and I talk about the calm technique, which is deep deep listening, and really using nurturing and compassion, what ends up happening is you don't actually have to teach your children how to do this. But they feel so good because they have been parented this way. It helps them become more resilient, more organized, more emotionally organized.
But what you often see happening is they have more positive social skills and better social health just intuitively because you are talking to them this way and they feel great. They go off with their friends or back to you and speak to you the same way. So I actually think treating your kids the way you would want to be treated is probably the greatest thing you could give them.
