Engaging in conversations with your child is a daily task. However, let's be honest, as parents, we often find ourselves busy, making it tempting to keep our interactions with our children light so that we can quickly move on to the next task on our never-ending to-do list. While there is a place for casual conversations in our daily lives, there are also moments when our children need us to truly listen and delve deeper. Though your child may not explicitly express it, they yearn for you to occasionally explore their inner world, to understand their thoughts and emotions. By doing so, not only will it help them and you gain a better grasp of their feelings, but it will also strengthen the bond between you. They will instinctively recognize that you genuinely comprehend them because you have invested the time and effort to genuinely care. In this seminar, Dr Benjamin Au Yeung and Dr Rosa Kwok will discuss the 3 steps to assist you in attentively tuning in during those crucial moments when your child requires your undivided attention.
