Eye Contact.

October 8, 2014 By Laura 1 Comment

eye contact

 

I’m making a conscious effort to look my kids in the eye when they speak to me.

This is harder than it sounds…they’re so short. It takes some doing to get down on their level and look them in the eye.

It usually means I have to stop what I’m working on and actually pay attention as well.

But I’ve already noticed a difference. Less shouting to get my attention. Less acting out. More confidence that I notice them and think what they’re saying is important.

It’s a small move, but a good one to help us connect.

Thank you for visiting Peace but Not Quiet! I’d love it if you’d take a minute to like me on facebook and follow along on twitter.

Hi, there!

Hi, there!

Welcome! I'm Laura -- a mom of four kids aged thirteen and under. I run occasionally and love really bad puns.
