"One night I attended a party and was intercepted in a corner. This person kept talking to me. I tried to give him a signal, suggesting that he would not continue, but he did not receive it. It's annoying ."

It is one of the most important tasks for parents to teach their children how to communicate politely and effectively. It is a big mistake to think that a child can learn correct communication skills without being taught by his/her parents. When a child is born, his or her parents should teach the child basic communication skills and keep training the child skills as the child grows up. Good communication with others is a basic social test.

Daily communication with children is an excellent way for parents to set an example of basic communication skills. In-depth discussions with children and polite conversation skills help them build a good communication Foundation in their subsequent lives. The ultimate goal of a parent is to cultivate a person who can communicate with others, listen to others' speeches, and clearly express his own thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

Peggy post listed 6 basic communication skills that parents should teach to their children on page 195th of her book Emily Post's etiquette.
 
First, she suggested eye contact. It is very important to teach children to look at others' eyes and talk. When talking, you can directly look into each other's eyes. This means you are interested in this topic and respect each other. You need to educate your children to be indifferent and rude to others when talking.

Second, the speech is clear and accurate. Good pronunciation, speed should not be too fast, make good use of grammar, in these aspects, parents need to set an example for children. Parents should pay attention to the way their children speak, and gradually correct them without embarrassment. You do not need to correct their mistakes in front of others. This may make your children feel embarrassed and make them afraid to speak in public.

Third, take turns and do not intercept. You must train your children to avoid intercommunication because they like to speak. It is important for parents to suppress their children's habits and teach them self-control. When the children intercept, their parents should tell them not to speak, and tell them to wait until it is their turn to speak, and then wait for them to stop and continue the conversation.

Fourth, pay attention to and respond accordingly. Setting an example for children to listen carefully is the best way to teach them how to listen to others. When parents talk to their children, they should listen carefully and repeat key words to make them feel like they are listening to them. Ask your child questions and ask the child to respond. What the child says should show interest. The best communicator is good at listening.

Fifth, politely participate in the conversation. It is correct to participate in the conversation politely. If your parents keep demonstrating how to be polite and participate in the conversation, the child will be able to master it after a while. Parents should tell their children how to quietly approach the talker, smile at them, listen to them, and then express their opinions after they finish.

It is also important for parents to teach their children how to behave politely when someone participates in a positive conversation. The Talker should smile and nod his head to inform the person to join them. When someone finishes speaking, they can greet the newcomers and introduce each other.

Finally, a friendly reminder should be given when the conversation should end. Being polite from a conversation is an important skill. Parents should try to teach their children to learn. Parents should encourage their children to leave a conversation and say something polite, for example, "I promised my cousin to play with him, so I am leaving now. I am very happy to chat with you."

Another important skill also needs to be emphasized by parents when teaching their children's basic communication skills, that is, controlling the content of the speech, not talking about things that are "trivial", but also protecting privacy.

Parents also need to help their children understand non-verbal communication and cues. Rude facial expressions, such as eye disorder, grimace, yawning to the talker, bypassing his hair, turning back to the talker, licking his nails, and watching the table, are all bad manners. Children may feel bad when they learn their non-verbal actions and manners. Learning to understand other people's non-verbal cues is also an important lesson. As time passes, the child will know when to end the conversation, finish the story or change the topic.

In today's world, skilled communication is a basic skill. Children need to get guidance from their parents and learn how to communicate effectively and politely. Good listening skills, self-control, good use of grammar, and agile response are all what they need to learn. If parents start demonstrating their conversation skills as early as possible, they will help their children develop elegant and mature communication activities, which will greatly benefit their children in adulthood.
