The given situation calls for active listening.

Explanation:

Active listening involves listening carefully and attentively to what is being said, comprehending the delivered information and remembering and responding either verbally or through non-verbal communication, i.e. through gestures like nodding in affirmation and agreement or giving appropriate facial expressions expressing your approval or disapproval.

Passive listening, on the other hand, is receiving the said words without making any effort to either comprehend or respond. The speaker, however, is not interrupted.

In the given situation, the listener is associated with the speaker who is revealing details about his family the details are of relevance to the listener so active listening is essential not only for the listener’s benefit but also to show the speaker that whatever he is saying is of importance to the listener.
