Question

Laura and Lisa are mothers of two children from the same school. Once home, the kids narrate their experiences at school. Laura corrects her child as she narrates her experience. Lisa on the other hand listens attentively and shows her interest using a few terms . Which parent is involved in active listening?
is involved in active listening.

Answer 1

Answer:

Lisa is involved in active listening.

Explanation:

Laura is probably correcting her daughter "mechanically", that is without thought; therefore, her correcting the child does not necessarily mean she is involved in active listening. She may be doing something else at the same time. Active listening means giving your full, undivided attention to the other person; you concentrate on what he or she is saying. This is what Lisa does when her child talks. She shows her interest and listens attentively; accordingly, she is involved in active listening.
