Kids have opinions, views, and often a very unique perspective of the things around them. They are expressive when it comes to sharing their views. Thus, as parents, you need to permit kids the freedom of expressing their perspectives. Kids can be afraid of being incorrect and offending. Hence, making it important to support them in sharing their viewpoints. This can be done by showing your appeasements maybe with your gestures or body language. This leads to monitoring their expressions too.
