I like to lean or kneel down and talk face to face.

Do you talk to them like you do to adults?

Do you keep things from them? What kind of things do you not talk about with kids?

Do kids listen better than adults?

I talk to them like I do adults.
Kids are not as practiced in pretending to listen to you as adults are.

I agree. I think they can sense when you're holding back or editing your thoughts. I think it plays a criticial role in how they communicate with others. They pretty much learn how to communicate from their parents.

Face to face
Sometimes, it depends.

Same here. We usually save it for when they are in bed.

Shut up!! lol Why do I tell you things? :p

No he asked me what it meant and wanted me to be straight with him. He said no crap about some bird bring baby or fairies making babies from baby dust either. He was not really thrilled about it and said there was no way he was putting his peep into anything. :nice:

My son I talk to like an adult more so than I do my daughter. He's 10 & she's 7.

I won't discuss my true feelings about their father with them. Even though he doesn't give me the same courtesy :mad:

ROFLMAO :rofl:

Of course you talk to them! You talk about everything of importance to the human race: politics, history, science, philosophy, education, ethics, art, literature... Everything. And you have dinner together and you have conversations with your family and your spouse and the children and the youth are included--in this way they learn intellectual, moral, and emotional matters. You don't just preach to them and order them about, but you tell them who you are and what you think and believe. You live with them closely day by day, and you don't set them up in a far corner of the house away from you, no, because that is the American disease, the big house with the faraway children... You tell them what you expect and what is important and where the lines are and they must follow the rules, and they will, if the rules are rather simple to understand and you have made them clear.
