Fascinating Stories of Christmas Customs & The Art of Talking with Children - SYSK Choice

Yeah, so a lot of times I think about a couple of different factors as changing. The first is how concrete you are. So as kids get older, you can tend to focus less on what you hear and see right in front of you, and you can talk about things more abstractly. That changes as kids develop and as they're able to think more in the abstract.

And younger children, you can also think abstractly, but oftentimes you want to start from something that you see right in front of you, just like I was talking about the mummies in the past. Similarly, you can also do more predicting and going back into the past, remembering, especially with older children. So you can go kind of further and further out into the future and the past.

Whereas with younger children, you tend to stick more to things that were more immediate, because they're more in their closer memories. But at the same time, you can always think about trying to stretch a child to see how they react. And if they seem like this is out of their comprehension or too difficult, you can always cut it down.

So I do think it can be so important to have one-on-one time with a child, even if you have multiple children, not necessarily every day if it's not possible, but at least once in a while to really get a sense of what's on their mind, what they might not want to tell other kids or might not feel comfortable sharing.
