I've found Haim Ginott's approach incredibly helpful in fostering a more empathetic and understanding relationship with my kids. One method I use is validating their feelings, which has made a big difference. For instance, if my child is upset about a toy breaking, instead of dismissing it, I acknowledge their frustration, which helps them feel heard and guides us to problem-solving together. Over time, this has improved our communication and reduced tantrums. It might be worth trying small changes like this to see how it affects your interactions! How have you been approaching communication with your kids so far?
