"Giving the child sufficient time to participate in interaction is perhaps one of the most powerful ways to motivate children to communicate. Allowing the child to do as much as the adult helps him get into the necessary game of learning to communicate. Balancing shows the child the essential give-and-take habit that many children frequently do not experience. Balancing helps the child be more active than passive, thus having more opportunities to become a communicating partner. Balancing is the art of doing less to get more from a child." -Child Development Media, Inc.
