The Importance of listening to our children
Loading player...
Today we will be discussing a very important topic, the importance of listening to children.
We found this poem, that sums it up beautifully, so here goes:
Take a Moment to Listen by Dr. Denis Waitley
Take a moment to listen To what your children are trying to say;
Listen today, whatever you do Or they wont’ be there to listen to you.
Listen to their problems. Listen for their needs,
Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their smallest deeds;
Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter.
Find out what’s the matter; find out what they’re after.
But tell them that you love them, every single night;
And though you scold them, be sure you hold them;
Tell them “Everything’s all right; tomorrow’s looking bright.”
Take a moment to listen today. To what your children are trying to say;
Listen today, whatever you do. And they will come back to listen to you!!
