A listening hear:
If you don't have this1 thing called a "listening ear," you have failed miserably as a parent in guaranteeing the safe growth of your child's well-being.
Many childhood crises arise as a result of parents' incapacity to pay attention to their children's complaints.
The child becomes disheartened and apprehensive about a variety of things as a result of his or her feelings of rejection and despair.
Children require a listening ear as they develop.
Pay close attention to whatever they say.
You have no idea how much it means to them, how heavy the burden is, or how it impacts their mental health.
What we've outgrown is what they're going through right now.
You don't expect them to suddenly adjust and act as if nothing happened.
Do not laugh at a child's remarks; they mean so much more than you can realize.
A rape victim may have told his or her parents about how he or she was raped "They've been harassed privately by a Man or woman in the neighborhood, and all they've gotten in return is "common shut your dirty mouth!"
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
How can you accuse your uncle in such a clumsy manner?"
....
All of this is significant.
There was a lot that could have been prevented, but no one was listening.
Many traumatized people could have been spared if listening ears hadn't been preoccupied with anything else.
This piece was inspired by an experience with a small child, whose identity I shall not reveal.
I was able to extract this tiny lesson towards the end of our talk.
Your child should always come first, and you should always listen to them.
The true facts is that some have the listen 👂 ear but they don't use what they hear to work
