How To Talk So Kids Will Listen And Listen So

In this video, I am going to tell you how to talk so kids will listen. The most important thing you need to do is talk to them as if you are talking to fellow adults. If you patronize children or you talk down to them, they're less inclined to listen to you.

This may even mean bringing yourself down to their level so maybe crouching down or sitting on a seat so you are not towering above them. Talk with energy, with animation, you wouldn't be interested in somebody who seemed dead pound about what they're saying, and neither will children. Show that expression in your face, smile when necessary and really light up your eyes so that you can show that you are passionate about what you are talking about and then they will think that they need to be, too.

Always keep eye contact. It's so important to ensure that an audience is engaged and interested and it's just the same with children. Use visual aids like pictures or diagrams, use auditory aids like music.

Get them moving, get them dancing, get them fully involved and you'll find that they really want to listen to what you're saying. Ask them questions so that they feel involved and use familiar similes, so situations that are comfortable for them and familiar to them rather than to an adult or to you specifically. And that is how to talk so kids will listen. .
