Talk to your children

Take time to talk to your children!  Take time to listen to what they have to say.  Encourage them to speak out, about anything. They will learn how to develop communication/language skills. Sitting down to eat together is an excellent time for conversation.  Of course, putting food on the table that builds healthy bodies, is an additional benefit.  Using the dinner time to reconnect, catch up on how everyone feels, and to establish family values.  Talk about the news of the day.  Tell them what you think.  Do they have an opinion?  Events going on in the neighborhood?

This is a time to help them learn what is acceptable and what is not.  Keep the lines of communication open into the teen years by talking and listening over the early years (a small secret to always keep in mind).

Take a look at this information.............optional only, but really helpful.
