The key thing is to really listen. Whether you are listening to your child, your partner, or your client, this means putting aside any conjectures, thoughts, opinions, wants, or needs. When you are able to do this, all kinds of possibilities arise. New information, new understanding, and new solutions. When the "other" feels really heard, they experience something new and wonderful and there is a moment of hope and excitement, shared by both persons.
Try listening without judgement and without expectation and see what happens!
