Course overview
Lesson Overview

2.4 – Reflective Listening: Showing You Understand: Reflective listening is more than repeating what your child says—it’s proving you truly understand their message. When your child shares something emotional, responding with “It sounds like you felt hurt when that happened” shows that you care about their inner experience. This reflection calms their nervous system and validates their perspective, helping them feel seen. Reflective listening transforms misunderstandings into empathy. Instead of solving too quickly, it teaches patience and curiosity. Children who feel understood are less defensive and more willing to communicate honestly. This practice reduces power struggles and builds emotional safety in the relationship. It turns moments of conflict into opportunities for connection and healing. Over time, reflective listening teaches your child to self-reflect and express feelings clearly. It shows them that being heard deeply matters just as much as being right.
