Open the Lines of Communication
My oldest son has just started kindergarten and my youngest is only 7 months old. However, I still get this feeling that they are growing up too fast. A part of me want them to stay young forever. On the other hand, I am also curious how they will be when they grow up. I am excited at the thought of having real conversations with them.

For now, though, I am making sure that I take part in their lives. I look forward to my daily conversations of googoos and gagas with my youngest; and I also eagerly wait at the end of the day for conversations about playtime and cars with my 3-year old.

This early, we are making sure that we constantly communicate with our kids. None of that, "do this and that because I said so..." kind of reasoning. We always keep in mind that the whys and wherefores are necessary even at this early age.

How about YOU? What is your practice when it comes to communicating with your child?
