One of the most important skills a parent can possess is being a good listener. It sounds pretty simple in theory, many parents have a difficult time putting it into practice.

Parents are too busy to devote enough time 4 the children. This leads to frustration and they would startst to rebell.

How do u deal with your children, 4 those who don't have children yet .how do you think u would deal with them

we should listen to a child and the child should know that we/parents are listening to their queries and we have to answer them properly and efficiently.

The simple things and act which are missing in the interaction between children and parents which grows so badly in the long. Parents are not fulfilling their role completely

there should be a continuous flow of communication between parents and children. This habit would grows and affection among the family would flourish

Well am the mother of two children age 3 and 5.My children are very talkative and Its important to listen to your children. but sometimes i find it hard to listen to them due to lack of time.I work, do the household work and I also study. but I do the maximum to my children, when I don't have time to listen to them i send them to their dad.

Sad but true. I have never listen to my children, I always was a hitler to them. But am really sad because i was unable to solve my children;s problems. In fact they never approach me. Its always my wife who devote time to them and listen to their problem.

Yes of course parents need to listen to children and guide them. children at a certain age, starts understanding things and its important to give them right answers. When your kids start asking for things or answers or have seen something and ask explanation, then you must always tell them the truth!!!

Communication is very important when I was happily married and my husband were still with me, we both used to devote considerable amount of time to him.but now that thing has changed, I no longer give him the required amount of time. this is because I have loads of problems..

I think that not only listening is important but also communication.That is why we are having all these kinds of problem happening.
Parents should not only discipline children but also tell them what they did wrong and how they could have done better.
