Course overview
Lesson Overview

2.16 – Teaching Turn-Taking in Conversations: Conversations are a balance of speaking and listening, and turn-taking keeps that balance healthy. Teaching this skill means showing your child that communication is a shared rhythm, not a competition. Start by modeling pauses after your child speaks, then encouraging them to wait before responding. Turn-taking builds self-control and mutual respect, teaching that every viewpoint deserves space. It prevents interruptions and misunderstandings while strengthening attention skills. When children practice waiting their turn, they also learn empathy—understanding that others need to be heard too. Over time, this practice leads to calmer discussions and better social relationships. It turns communication into collaboration instead of debate. In family life, the simple habit of turn-taking builds harmony far beyond conversation. It becomes the foundation for teamwork and kindness.
