WELLNESS - CLUES FROM KIDS

FWR Says: Let’s listen to what our children say

Of course, we can’t listen to all our kids arguing, raving and tantrums. Beyond these, however, there are pearls of great wisdom. Here is why:
  • Kids get to the point using simple, plain language
  • They have imaginations that we are losing
  • They can point to tender spots in the family that parents miss
  • Kids grow when their views are considered seriously
  • They say how they feel while we have learned to cover up
  • Listening to them takes time which they really need
  • They can teach us again how to play
  • Their songs, praised, can be with them forever
We parents need to take time to do two of the most vital things with our kids: teach them what they need to know and listen to what they are thinking.
