We should be courteous and listen to their valued opinions and points of view. We should be mindful that adults and children may be from different backgrounds.Another factor that can help to build a positive relationship is asking about and remembering personal issues or important aspects of another person’s life. This could be as simple as remembering a birthday or asking after a family member.
