For the most part, they haven't really learned that what they say can be heard differently than what they meant.<br />Our time would probably be better spent helping them learn about the nuances of communication, rather than inserting our own meaning into what they're saying. ;)Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-50325225693279993662013-08-08T11:44:55.882-04:002013-08-08T11:44:55.882-04:00awww yes....isn't dinner time the most tiring ...awww yes....isn't dinner time the most tiring meal of the day for mom's. You must be a really good cook to whip something wonderful together when you had such a tiring day. I admit, I tend to try to make something super easy when I am just burnt out. Your story made me think of Lily saying to me yesterday, when I was standing in her room telling her to clean up before dinner, she said, "Why are you in my room." Ouch...my little girl already with attitude and likely not knowing what she said is rude. I explained it to her. Yet, I think you are right, I am sure our kids don't really mean a lot that they say...whether they are young children or teenagers. hope you are having a good day...hugs***chera Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
