How to listen effectively
1. Paying attention to what the other is saying.
2. Acknowledging the other person's feeling.
3. Listening without giving an opinion.
4. Listening without offering advice.
5. Listening without immediately agreeing or disagreeing.
6. Noticing how the person appears to be feeling and then asking.
7. Respecting the person's needs for quiet times.
8. Respecting the person's needs and address to problems.
9. Listening to but not pushing too hard for feelings.
