Using Correct Body Language

Matching and Mirroring to Gain Rapport with Your Child

We can use voice intonation and body language to connect to people on a better

level so that we understand each other and open up more during discussions.

When gaining rapport with others, only 7% of what we say matters, so it’s important

to say words that empathise showing that you care and understand what is being

said.

Next is tonality at 38%, meaning the tone that we use, so try to stay calm even if you

want to scream and shout inside. Reacting adversely is a sure way to stop children

talking to adults.
