They are always listening.

In case you were wandering, yes children listen to everything you say. I know there are times when you are talking to them but they don't seem to hear you but they are listening. When they are close by they may seem too busy and distracted to hear you, but they are listening. As you are driving in traffic and another driver frustrates you, remember they are listening. They learn from you how to react to life situations. Every home is a classroom and every parent is a teacher. Teach them well and they will do well throughout their lives. It is important to remember that every word you say out loud will be the lessons you teach them.
