A Sunday school teacher once asked her class, What's wrong with grown-ups? A boy responded, Grown-ups never really listen because they already know what they're going to answer. ¨Not talking is one action. Listening is another. Sometimes I think God gave us two ears and one mouth just because He wants us to listen twice as much as we talk. Even so, not talking doesn't mean we're listening.¨Mom and dad, you may hear the words your teen is saying, but are you really listening to her heart? She doesn't need your response, your judgment, your opinion or your solution. In fact, she probably isn't asking for anything. She just needs your undivided attention and a listening ear.
