"When you really listen, love is what they’ll hear."

Sometimes the most important thing you can say to your children is . . . nothing. Because sometimes they just need you to listen.

If you think about it, maybe that’s why we’ve been given only one mouth but two ears. Listening develops greater trust, respect, and understanding—not to mention friendship. And who better to share these attributes with than your own children? So next time your children want to talk, . . . let them.
