Answer 2

Make the child the focus of your attention. When communicating with a child, we can turn off the television or movie and put down the phone.This lets the child know that we care about what he or she is saying.
Get down to the child's level physically. You may have already noticed how important eye contact can be when you are talking with friends. It is also important when talking with children. By getting down to the child's level, eye contact is easier and you are not towering over the child, which can be intimidating.
Pause or delay a conversation if you need to. Anger, frustration, and impatience can cause us to respond negatively to a child. It's okay to step away from the situation until you are emotionally more calm and ready to have a more productive conversation.
Listen carefully and respectfully. Let the child talk without interrupting and listen for the major themes or points in the story they are telling.
Help the child to find solutions if he or she is discussing a problem.
