Because when a child or teenager asks a question, it means they have doubts—and the best people to answer are parents, teachers, and educators, not friends or the internet. Therefore, it is unacceptable to reply with phrases such as “because I said so,” “I’ll answer you later,” “it’s not important,” “that’s not for your age,” “ask your father,” or “what a silly question!” Our children present us with a tremendous challenge: communicating with them positively. It is not always easy to foster dialogue without argument, to move beyond simple yes-or-no responses, to encourage them to share what is happening in their lives, or to respond assertively to questions that sometimes leave us stammering, blushing, or thoroughly flustered. Psychologist Bárbara Ramos Dias asserts that many challenges stem from this lack of communication between parents and children—or between students and teachers. Learning to listen to them, to understand their feelings and concerns, is essential to improving these relationships.
