Inculcate Positive Listening Skills in Your Child
Young children have a very short span of concentration. They get distracted easily and it is quite expected from them (they are kids!) It is our responsibility as adults to inculcate the right listening skills in our children. Listening is one activity that we tend to perform most of the time when we are not doing anything else. But there is a huge difference between listening and hearing and it should be well understood by our children. Listening is active while hearing is passive. If we are listening but we do not understand clearly the instructions or if we get distracted during the course of a conversation, it implies we were not listening intently, and are just hearing. In such a case, we will not be able to repeat what we just heard, then it becomes hearing. It means that when we hear what is being said to us but do not pay attention to it or are not able to perform as directed; we just lend the voice our ears without listening to it carefully. Children are not born gifted with the skill of listening. It is we, the parents who develop this skill in our children in the below mentioned ways:

We cannot expect our children to do all this in one go. They need some time to develop this habit of listening. But by telling them the advantages of listening we can boost them to acquire the habit easily. When they know that when they listen carefully, they are able to do what is expected of them and there are fewer chances of mistakes and they will be in the good books of their parents, teachers, friends and relatives. This will not only help develop their personality but they will also be balanced in thought and action.
