Why is communication important for kids?

Communication is how we make connections, develop relationships, learn, have important interactions, understand each other, and become understood.

When children are just learning the fundamentals of effective communication, it is a great opportunity to expose them to realistic scenarios where they can see the proper communication techniques play out. 

When kids need something and they are unable to communicate it, frustration can cloud the discernment of their needs.

Frankly, this issue does not magically subside in adulthood.  We all must practice communication that integrates complex emotions and relationships.  It is beneficial to allow kids to learn about and be exposed to the best ways of communicating. 

Allowing them the opportunity to develop these communication skills with you will bring peace and maturity to your relationship.
