Effective listening: A good-in-a-crisis micro-VCoL from Lectica

Listening, like thinking, learning, and self-control, tends to suffer in a crisis. Yet, listening is one of the greatest gifts we can offer to one another when stress becomes distress. By consciously practicing basic listening skills with VCoL, you can increase the quality of your listening — even in tough times.

This micro-VCoL works best for adults and mature adolescents, but even children can benefit from observing good listening behavior, and some may try to join in. If your children want to participate, have them focus on one “paying attention” or “showing” behavior at a time.
