Communication is the basic building block of our relationships.
It is through communication that we convey our thoughts, feelings, and connection to one another.
Developing good communication skills is critical for successful relationships, whether parent, child, spouse, or sibling relationship.
We all have had experiences where (1) we have felt heard and understood and we’ve all had experiences (2) where we have felt misunderstood and even ignored.
Generally, when we feel heard, we are less angry, stressed, and more open to resolving problems than when we feel misunderstood. Feeling heard and understood also develops trust and caring between people.
