Thanks Kesha! Yes, all too often, we talk to our kids, but don’t really TALK.

Fantastic piece! Really had me pondering whether or not I truly TALK with my kids. Thanks!

You came cross a very important issue for parents to learn how to do it and talk more often with their kids, thanks for the great post!

Although I’m not a parent yet, I’d like to think that regularly talking to your children about the things they want to talk about would lead to better understanding and relationships with them, instead of always talking about whether they’ve done their homework or chores, or fussing about something they’ve done. Plus, it helps parents understand where their child is in life, and reminds them of what it was like to have the mind if a small child, teen, etc. which is almost forgotten in adulthood.

@Jen, That’s great of you to allow them to talk about what you can do to improve. Such a great idea.

I talk to my children regularly. I think it’s very important for them to be able to talk about their day, their dreams, their wants and yes…what they would like me to do differently to make things work.

Thanks for your Post I agree that parent’s need to “stop and listen”
