Communication is important for strong family relationships．However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate．Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds．

Stay in the present．

When listening to a family member, do not think about other things．Put your phone away and give the speaker your full attention．It's important to try to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued.

Pay attention to what is being said．Make sure that you can understand the speaker at the moment.

Use body language．

If you want the family member to feel valued, make sure to show that you are listening．You can do it by using body language．Nod as the speaker talks．Smile when appropriate．Maintain eye contact.

Do not cut in．

Cutting in can prevent you from communicating effectively．No matter how excited you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the family member has finished．Always allow a few seconds of silence after the speaker finishes talking before offering your reply．This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished, and gives the speaker a chance to fully express himself.

Ask questions．

Part of listening is understanding．If there is anything in the conversation you don’t understand, please ask after the family member finishes．This shows you are truly listening to him and value his thoughts.

Ask questions that encourage open discussions．For example, “What do you think of the situation?”

Avoid asking “why”questions, which might make the speaker feel uncomfortable．

Follow these tips, listen actively to your family to help communication run smoothly and build strong family relationships.
