Active listening when in triplets To the Teacher 4

Besides lending your listening ear to the two more active members of the triplet and watching the body-language, pensive clues, etc. accompanying the information-flow, you can also practise listening to your personal, guardian 'inner voice'.

Silent 'free attention', aka 'credulous listening', can be conveyed as

• encouraging, i. e. without demand,
• supportive, i. e. without judgement, and
• empathic and emotionally warm, i. e. without criticism.
