The Art of Communication

Ha! This title sounds like I might have some masterful insight. What I actually have is like observation and trial & error experience.

There were some things that had to be discussed with my darling kiddo. If done via text/messenger/etc I was sure to be misunderstood. So that was out.

I had to wait until I was calm because I really needed to hear them. I was hoping I was wrong with what I was thinking. So, we needed time.

And, I needed them to be present. So we discussed a time and phones had to be away.

Tonight I am thankful for good conversations with kiddos today. I listened. They listened. We talked. And things are looking positively. And, thankfully, I was wrong with what I thought! ❤️
