...would give me a chance.

Many times I would try to argue a point or explain my position, and because my father had already made up his mind, there was no point trying to convince him otherwise.

It's incredibly frustrating when a child is trying to speak and a parent won't listen or assumes they already know. A child will not open up to a parent as a result.

Parents need to take the time to not only hear their children but to listen to them.

As a single father I honestly can say I could not agree more. I am very mindful of this fact when raising my two boys. Granted they are only 6 and 8 at this point, but I think its important to remember at every age!

ok who told you about me. Did one of my kids write you ? that is me all the way. I quite my son before he can say anything to keep him from speaking because I have the answer and had made my mind up and a lot of times it wrong.And he will bring it back to me to show I was wrong,
