We are hearing so much today that we have lost the art of listening. As parent, listening is a very important part of parenting, because when you listen to your child with undivided attention you can notice her/his body language.You can judge whether what is being conveyed is the actual message or your child is waiting for you to understand what he/she is not able to speak.
This thought stuck me when I was watching "Stolen" starring Nicolas Cage where he melts gold out of bank. This took me back to the time when while teaching science my mother was telling me the melting temperature of gold. Then she looked at me with that stern look and said," Don't even think of trying out with my bangles". She could hear my thoughts without my saying them out loudly.We need to develop this art of listening as parents, to hear what our child has not even said!
