The Role Of Communication In Effective Parenting
The focus is on the vital art of effective communication: Parent with children, Children with parents, Parent with parent and children with children.
Tragically, we are witnessing a progressive degeneration in the ability of our children and teenagers to communicate with each other and even worst when they are to communicate with adults. A good percentage of the time, they are either listening to something plugged into their ears, or they are glued to the TV, computer or a hand held device (i.e. PSP, portable DVD etc.). The result is that their ability to communicate is degenerating.
This situation should alarm every caring adult. It is either that many parents do not understand the enormity of the negative impact this could have down the road or they just do not care. Sadly, many parents are as bad if not worst than their children in their inability to communicate, this must be reversed promptly because if we are to prepare our children/youth for success in life, they must be able to communicate effectively and the parent must lead with good examples.
