What should I do if my child doesn’t like to communicate?

Communication is a way of conveying information between people. Communication can promote mutual feelings. Especially communication between family members is very important. Sincere communication is needed to make the family atmosphere more harmonious. In real life, many children have problems in communicating with their parents. Many children are in the rebellious period of adolescence and are unwilling to communicate with their families. Let's take a look at what to do if children don't like to communicate?

1. Find out why your child is unwilling to communicate

If children are unwilling to communicate with their parents, they must have their own reasons. As a parent, if you don’t know why your child doesn’t like to communicate with you, you are a failure. These issues must be clarified first, otherwise your children will only become more distant from you.

2. “Shut up” when your child is extremely averse to communication

No matter how old a child is, he or she has his or her own rebellious mentality. You can look at babies. When they are immersed in their own world, such as concentrating on playing with toys, if you talk to them, not only will they be unwilling to answer you, they are likely to be emotionally opposed to you. If this is the case with a baby, what about an older child? A child’s character problems don’t happen overnight. They accumulate slowly, and solving them also needs to be done slowly.

3. Don’t talk too much when communicating with your child

This is a major reason why children dislike communicating with their parents. Some families have both old and young living together, and there is only one child in the whole family. When the father or mother is educating the child or communicating with the child, there will be so many people around listening, and they may interrupt. In this situation, the child will definitely be very disgusted with communicating with the parents. Such communication will not only fail to educate the child, but will make the child feel very bored.

4. Apologize to your child first when communicating

If the child plans to communicate with the parents, then the problem is definitely not just the child's own, and the parents must also have an unshirkable responsibility. When you are ready to communicate with your child again, the child will definitely be resisting you in his or her heart. At this time, you don't need to rush to communicate.
