The Art of Listening to Your Child: Building Connection Through Attention | Episode 346

Join Dr. Roger Smith of Parenting Matters Now as he explores the often overlooked parenting skill of truly listening to your child. In this insightful episode, Dr. Smith distinguishes between different types of listening situations and offers practical guidance on how to respond appropriately to each. Learn why eye contact can be more important than verbal feedback, how to avoid turning conversations into interrogations, and why respecting your child's dreams—even seemingly impossible ones—builds crucial trust. Dr. Smith shares wisdom on creating meaningful connections through attentive listening, whether your child is simply chatting or sharing something they consider important. Discover how your facial expressions, body language, and quality of attention can build a bridge to your child's heart and mind in ways that words alone cannot.
