The Power of Listening.

             The Power of Listening..

“ It takes a great man to be a good     listener"

Calvin Coolidge

Our lack of patience as adults in listening to children has cost lots of children repairable damages.Most times adults don't actually listen to what children are saying.Likewise this deficiency also cost lots of individual unsolved problems. There is power in the act of listening to what children are saying....but then not just children.....    

Note:
Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.
Alice Miller
    
     When we listen it actually shows that we:                                                                1.Love the individual communicating. 2.Ready to help the communicator. 3.Happy to see the individual.                4.Have trust in the communicator.        5.The individual is important to us. 6.Whatever the person is going through we are in together..most especially kids.. 7.Ready to accept the communicator's idea.                                                          8.Feeling for the individual.                Studies have shown that great listeners make great leaders.Make it a duty to listen to someone today.... Trust me lots of problems are solved that way...

“ Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than talking"

Bernard M. Baruch
