20.Communicating with your child is challenging as parents learn to navigate the dos and don'ts of effective talking.However,more and more parents struggle to communicate with their children.Even adults who work with children every day--teachers or coaches--sometimes need some communication tips.(71)DTelling a child to do his homework or get more sleep isn't really communication.It's important information that your child needs,but it lacks an important part of communication.It lacks the two-way exchange of feelings and ideas(72)E.The American Academy of Pediatrics states,"Healthy communication--the kind that builds a strong two-way bridge-is crucial in helping your child develop a healthy personality and good relationships with you and others.It gives your child a chance to become a happy,safe,healthy person,no matter what happens."
