How to Give Advice
Everyone has an opinion, but sometimes it’s not easy to give advice,
Thisis really true for important relationships. Here are some tips on
how you can give advice in different relationships.
Toachild If you aren't careful, children might
get angry when you give them advice. They are
often immature, and they don’t understand that
you want to help. i's useful to tell them you
understand what they are going through before
you give them advice, Be considerate, think about
how they might feel, and remember that their
‘opinions matter. I's not helpful to speak loudly
Cor to criticize; this makes children feel worse, and
they might not listen to you.
Toaco-worker Itcan be difficult to give advice
to people at work, soit's often good to apologize
first. For example, say, “I'm sorry, but | think you
could..." And remember that it's never a good
idea tojudge people. Give advice about what you
think should change about the person's work, not
about the person! Also remember that in work

situations, you often have to compromise. You
‘may give advice, but the person might not take it!
Toatriend Friends can be the hardest people to
give advice to, It'simportant to be honest, but
you should also be kind, When you glue advice to
‘friend, don't argue. Try to communicate with
your friend, Ask questions and realy understand
your friend's problem before you give advice,
These tips are useful in other types of
telationships, too. The important thing to
remember is to be patient with others, and give
them a chance to respond to your advice. It's also
helpful to give advice when the person Is ready
to listen, Don't give advice when the person is
extremely upset or stressed, Try to finda time
when he or she is more relaxed.
