Show your child what listening looks like
Research shows that in order to retain what they hear, students need to focus their attention, then review important information. Be a listening role model for your child. For example, encourage your student to talk about the school day. Then show you are paying attention by making eye contact and listening patiently. Restate the important points your child makes to confirm your understanding.
