Great post! I resolve to practise active listening with my 4-year-old son even though he frustrates me with his non-stop bullet-train talking and incessant Why’s. A few days ago, he shared that he had played with a Lego pig at school. Today, I was able to follow up on that and teach him the spelling of “pig” while taking him to school. It makes me feel like a great parent haha
If you want a relationship with your children listen to them. There will come a day when they will not talk your ear off.
