Transcription: 
Reflective communication is an exchange of ideas. It actually highlights, mirrors, and reflects what somebody is thinking, inferring, understanding, or trying to express. Reflective communication in a parent/child relationship is so critical because adds to the nurturing, tender, trusting quality of that parent/child relationship.
