Teaching Kids to Communicate
Great kids who love God and love people don’t just happen.
It has always been important to us to have children who are good communicators. You know, the kind of kids who could walk in a room and carry on a conversation with anyone and everyone. Kids who would have enough confidence and respect to visit with older people rather than ignore them.
It’s important to train your children how to make eye contact, give a good firm handshake, introduce themselves, and interact with people. Teach them how to show an interest in others rather than just talking about themselves.
When you’re driving in the car with your children, it’s more productive to visit with them than to listen to music or talk on your cell phone. Use every opportunity you have to communicate with your kids.
If you will talk to them when they are little, they will talk to you when you are old.
