'Families': a parenting skills video
Families was developed by the NSW Department of Community Services.
Families – Building relationships: parenting preschoolers is a video demonstrating three parenting skills that can help you build better relationships with your children.
To watch the video online, click here. It will open in a pop-up window, so make sure you click ‘Pop-ups okay’ if you’re using pop-up blocking software.
The three parenting skills explained on the video are:
- attending:‘tuning in’ to your child by making eye contact and using open body language
- active listening: when you listen to your child and repeat back, in your own words, what you think they’ve said
- descriptive praise: telling your child exactly what they did that pleased you.
The video has been edited into small segments of less than three minutes which are ideal for viewing online.
