Friends share stories. They say how they are feeling. Good friends listen carefully. You listen with your ears. But how do you pay attention? People may listen in different ways. Here are some tips.
Tune in.
Listen your friend’s voice (above). Are you in a loud place? Move somewhere quiet. Your friend has something to say.
Your eyes can help.
You can look at a friend when they talk. Try to focus on their words. What are they trying to tell you?
Show you are paying attention.
Try to keep your hands and body quiet. Do not walk away. Respond with a smile or a nod.
