Listening to children and being aware of their needs without that perception being conditioned by selfish criteria begins by listening to oneself. From this perspective, we learn to be empathic with the situations of others and not only with that of the children around us but also with our elders, partners, friends, family and even our animals, pets or plants. A person who listens to himself develops an intuition that allows him to be sensitive to what others need and does so from a position of detachment, commitment and neutrality and from that position he knows, for example, what a child really needs.
Children should be encouraged to develop their gifts and skills and exercise them with creativity and freedom. From the base of respect and coexistence, we can teach children to think positively so that they are self-confident individuals and face situations with strength and at the same time with serenity. In this way, children become adults who give fair importance to things and focus on the fundamental, in what the moment presents without being confused by superficial events that should not interfere in what is really relevant in their lives
Dialogue and listening will foster creative, autonomous, entrepreneurial, social, adaptive and dialogic children. These are children who learn to know themselves and, therefore, to know their surroundings. Therefore, they are open children and that they are naturally, in addition, for this reason, they have clear ideas, know how to defend themselves and know what they have to do to carry out their purposes.
The area of creativity is one in which children will be able to express their talents, especially if they are allowed to express their feelings, and in which they will express what they are. In this way, the child discovers and explores his gifts and recognizes his strengths and weaknesses as paying attention to his interior, will allow the child to know each other well, a powerful weapon that will allow him to face his fears and be aware of how far can arrive In addition, the child spontaneously expresses his feelings but if this is repressed, he will not be allowed to manifest that natural joy that all children develop simply by the fact of being. Allow the child to develop the power of his mind, work miracles and contribute to creating smiles but for this it is necessary to know how to listen to the children and allow them to be.
