Inside this Book – Early in the development of the field of NLP, it was discovered that people who are in deep rapport with each other match each other nonverbally. For instance, when two people are sitting in a restaurant, deeply involved with each other, they are usually matching each other’s body posture, voice tone, and tempo. If one suddenly started talking much louder or much softer, or faster or slower than the other, the smooth communication cycle would be interrupted. A baby in the babbling phase is thrilled to have a “babbling” conversation with someone who will use the same sounds, with the same rhythm and tempo. When a young child is in a shy phase, it’s often possible to quickly establish rapport by being “shy” along with him. As the child hides behind mom or dad, you can “hide” behind your hands. Then you can cautiously peer out at the child, and quickly pull your head back behind your hands as soon as the child notices you. Usually the child will become very interested in your shyness, rather than being so focused on his own. You are probably already matching your child some of the time. You can experiment with nonverbal matching at other times, to discover the impact it has on your relationship. Sometimes it seems a bit awkward at first, but as it becomes automatic, most parents find that they feel more connected to their child in a new way. You can match your child’s breathing, your child’s voice tone, or your child’s movements.
