Repeating and rephrasing are techniques used to not only stay engaged in the conversation, but to let the student know that you are listening and heard what they said. Thanks for sharing!

I believe the mind can wander easily at times so it takes practice to stay focused. Sometimes repeating statments back to the student, at appropriate times helps you stay engaged.

Rachel, that is a great question! There are several listening barriers that come into play plus we also have a very active brain. What steps have you found successful in order to fully listen to someone?
