Understand non-verbal and verbal cues 2. Listen with understanding to stories, directions, and conversations 3. Follow directions that involve a two or three-step sequence of ac- tions 4. Listen to and recognize different sounds in rhymes and familiar words Family members can facilitate children's LISTENING when they: . Talk with children using language appropriate to their level of under- standing .Encourage children in conversation and notice and respond to what children say and do • Use mealtimes and other daily routines as an opportunity for conver- sation • Use rhymes and songs with children to increase children's interest in language sounds and words Northwest Hennepin l0% Earl Childhood Network •� Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council Y iii Research; Planning and Coordination Buifdrng earfy learning success for chifdren and families Do you hear me? By Ada Alden, Ed.D. Network Member Although the focus of the Early Childhood Indicators is the child listening, more often the child does not feel heard. Many have reported, " No one really listens to me." I have heard a child say, "I am hot." " I hurt my knee." The attending adult will often respond, "No, you are not." "Your knee is fine." My older daughter said, "I really don't like the baby." As a caring mother, I wanted to say, " You really like your baby sister." Truth was, she didn't. Most often communication in the home is a one-way street—from parent to child. Research supports the importance of a language rich environment. However, adults who monopolize the conversation by preaching, lecturing, etc. are not promoting the listening skill. A few guidelines suggested by Charles Schaefer, Ph.D might be useful: 1. Be interested, available and really listen. (Put your phone away.) 2. Be patient and recognize how powerful it is to say, "I want to hear what you think." 3. Avoid putting down a child's feelings by saying: "You'll get over it." "That is not worth crying about." "It could be worse." Remember, a child under six is paying close attention to you. To encourage children to listen, parents need to listen. Children Northwest Hennepin Early Childhood Network, a program of the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council learn to talk by talking.
