Listening shows you care what your child thinks

A positive self-image helps give children the courage to take on challenges. One way to boost this sense is to listen when your child talks. You don't always have to agree with what your child says. Just by listening, you help your student feel respected. Make eye contact, nod and smile, and avoid interrupting. Then, let your child know you expect the same treatment when you're talking!
