Adults listen to children and children listen to adults. A 5-year-old can have an opinion! No opinions are wrong, no question is inappropriate; there is safety in communicating.

As parents, you can model how to talk respectfully to each other, how to listen, how to stay calm, and how to value other people’s opinions.
