Communication Skills

An important part of growing up and being able to learn in school is the ability to listen, understand, and follow directions. We work on these important parts of learning & call all of this..... Communication Skills.

You, as parents, can also use important communication skills at home. Here are a few suggestions.
1) Listen to you child. The more you stop and listen, the more your child will talk and learn.
2) Watch television or read a book with your child and talk about what you are watching/reading.
3) Tell your child one of your favorite stories. Children love to hear their parents’ favorite stories.
4) Laugh a lot with your child; it is good for both of you.

Great point. It is really advantageous for children to develop their communication skills while they're young. It will help them gain more self-confidence. Your suggestions are great and I bet they are effective. Since children are not aware of the importance of developing communication skills, it leaves to the parents the duty to help them with it.
