The act of talking can mean telling someone your thoughts and opinions, listening to their comments, responding with a question, listening, commenting and asking more questions.  The result of conversing is a better understanding of how that person looks at life and interprets it.  Hearing someone else’s way of looking at a situation from a completely different perspective can open your mind to others opinions.  Begin exploring avenues of conversation with your child that will open your mind to how he thinks and feels.  As you begin to talk and learn more about each other the conversations will become an important part of each day – a good time to let your child know how much he is loved.
