Communication

Communication is the most important component of any relationship. More so with kids. We pass on our values to our kids through Communication only.

Communication may be 'verbal' or 'non-verbal'. Sometimes 'non-verbal' communication has a more powerful impact than 'verbal' communication. 'Non-verbal' communication includes all kinds of emotional expressions, actions, body language, meaningless words or even being silent.

More than 300 years ago, Isaac Newton laid down his third law of motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

This law best applies on communication. If we communicate something positive, it brings back something positive to us. Similarly, if we communicate something negative, it brings back something negative to us.

Kids can sense the underlying emotion and message of any communication, and they follow the Newton's third law religiously. They react with the same emotions. So they can't be blamed for any negative reaction.
