I would suggest listening to the child, and if you are busy when they approach you let them know that you see and hear them and you will be right with them, and then once you are done give them your full attention. Also quietly listening to them when they are talking without interrupting waiting for them to finish and then speak. Giving them choices so they can feel independent and then supported in their decision. Spending quality time with them doing what they like to do and following their lead.
