This chapter emphasizes the value of listening to what children truly need and want, highlighting an anecdote about a father who was pleasantly surprised when his son expressed a desire to learn to vacuum. It concludes with a reminder that children are constantly trying to communicate, and parents can only hear their message if they truly listen.
It’s a noisy world out there… and most of us add to the din. We chatter on social media. We chatter on the phone. We chatter over email.
Even as parents, we tend to do a lot of talking. There are all the things we tell our kids. The things we remind them about. The lessons we try to teach them. The books we read to them.
