Introduction
The value of listening in Communication is often not fully recognised, even less so in today’s digital age, in a world where the pace of life is increasing, technologies are advancing, and the way we communicate is changing. The act of listening is not merely the transmission of words, but the sensitive balance between understanding and connection.
When we listen actively, we unlock the gateway to impactful interpersonal exchanges which can be created as a key to building relationships of trust. Empathy is the driving force behind Active Listening. It involves understanding, compassion, and emotional connection. Listening to someone’s concerns means giving them a space to be heard without immediately trying to solve their problems.
For parents, educators, and professionals who work with children, Empathic Active Listening has the power to be a game-changer. It builds trust and respect, creating a solid foundation for Communication.
The act of listening is not merely the transmission of words, but the sensitive balance between understanding and connection.
