Here is a common parental fantasy: the kids actually listen to what we say. What a concept! But why does such a simple thing sometimes seem so far out of reach? Part of the problem may be that we often forget that listening needs to be learned. Babies are primed to watch and listen: that’s how they pick up language, expression and just about everything else.

So how do we go about exercising those listening muscles? Just listen to the great ideas below….
