The Importance of Mindful Communication with Kids

Mindful communication is crucial when interacting with children. Kids may have big emotions, and it's important to give them time and space to process these emotions. Before problem-solving, it is necessary to acknowledge and empathize with their emotions. Additionally, using nonviolent communication (NVC) can be effective. NVC encourages being specific about the event that caused an emotion, without judgment. By identifying needs behind the emotions, parents can transform their relationship with emotions, seeing them as visitors rather than burdens.
