| A Note from the Medical Editor |
Now that kids are
back in school, many families are busier than ever. But, even 10 minutes a day without distractions to talk can make a big difference in forming
good communication habits with your child.
So…
- Turn off the TV.
- Put down the cell phone.
- Give your undivided attention to your child.
You’ll be amazed at the many benefits of taking this precious time with your child.
