CHILDREN! WATCHING US MORE THAN LISTENING TO US

How many times have you told your kids to change their clothes, brush their teeth, do their homework, tidy up their rooms, or anything else for that matter? There is really no right answer because there is really no limit to the number of times we have to ask our kids to do something.

For most of us, this is a normal part of our daily lives. We ask, and ask, and ask, and if we are lucky, our kids cooperate after the fourth request or after a loud but otherwise harmless scolding.

We complain that our kids never listen to us: we ask other mums how they get their kids to behave, eat their meals or go to sleep. We consult books at all hours on better childrearing and discipline and other parenting techniques. And still, our kids just don’t listen.

                                                 

But, they do observe. While we are yelling at them, they are watching us; while we argue with each other, they are watching; while we mutter curses under our breath at raging drivers, they are watching; while we chat with our friends on the phone, they are watching us.

If you have toddlers, you must have been seeing these already. You see them carrying on animated conversations their battery operated toy cell phones. They pace around the house with their heads cocked, their little shoulder straining to hold up the fake phone with the blinking lights.

Our kids are watching our every move, even when they don’t listen to one word.
