Answer
If you notice that your child often appears dazed, failing to maintain good eye contact during conversations as if lost in thought, it’s time to reflect on whether your expressions during communication with them are too stern, your gaze too intense, or your tone too authoritative. These factors might cause fear in children, preventing them from engaging in effective non-verbal communication with us. Remember, the process of a child focusing on their mother and listening intently to her is a gradual development that requires the mother to understand and master some basic methods of effective communication with children.
