Children often have a lot to say but we don't seem to have a lot of time to listen. Sure, we can smile and nod along as our 5 year old talks about their day or throw out a few deftly placed but insincere "Uh huh's" while our 12 year old attempts to convince us that they'll never actually use math in the real world. But our mind is often elsewhere, preoccupied with matters of true importance. How mistaken we are. If we can't find the time to truly listen to our children when they're young and thereby show them just how important they're concerns are to us, then they'll most likely deprive us of the privilege of listening to them when they're older. A world of meaning and significance is caught up in everything our children say, it's just a question of whether or not we care to listen.
