Listen to the Children

By unknown
Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to say
Listen today, whatever you do
Or they won't be there to listen to you.
Listen to the Children

 

 

Take a moment to listen today

To what your children are trying to say

Listen today, whatever you do

Or they won't be there to listen to you.

 

Listen to their problems

Listen for their needs.

Praise their smallest triumphs

Praise their smallest deeds.

Tolerate their chatter

Amplify their laughter.

Find out what's the matter

Find out what they're after.

 

But tell them that you love them

Every single night

And though you scold them

Make sure you hold them

And tell them "Everything's all right;

Tomorrow's looking bright!"

 

Take a moment to listen today

To what your children are trying to say.

Listen today, whatever you do

And they will come back to listen to you!
