How do you talk with your children; have you ever just sat down and thought about it?

By Jackie Saulmon Ramirez | August 6, 2014

Meaningful conversations with teens actually start when they are much younger – but it is never too late to begin.

If you take a walk through the neighborhood – a store, school, school and so on – and observe how other people talk with their children you can probably pick out areas in which you could make improvements for yourself. You may see parents in a hurry, rolling their eyes, refusing to buy something, ignoring kids or maybe even getting physical with their child.

Children understand the difference between ‘talking at’ and ‘talking with’ very early.

Talking to our children becomes more of a habit than we realize unless we change the talk patterns. Here are a few quick tips for communicating better with children:

Your Reality


MunirZamir's avatarMunir Zamir Poetry

I was not ready
Not by a long shot
For the breeze
That was you
For in the moment
I saw you and your breeze
Was the same moment
You decided to show me
The hurricane living
Inside the breeze that
I thought defined you..
I was not ready
Not for a breeze
And its hurricane…

The path of life
Is cruel and full of beauty
Who plays at dice?

Pains and joys are the colors
Of this world of confusion.

The Cat and His Horse~

Meet Domino the mountain barn cat. He has a horse named Buddy.

Wherever Domino goes, Buddy is sure to follow. The cat wears the pants in this relationship.

Just because someone is smaller, it doesn’t mean they can’t call the shots.

Domino has an attitude. Must be from wrassling with the racoons and gophers and squirrels he protects his horse from up on Round House Ranch on Mt. Palomar.

Domino likes to sleep in his saddle in his tree on the mountain. All cats like to sleep in their saddles, not just cowboys like you probably thought.
DSC04760
Buddy is a working horse and loves to round up cattle on the range. He takes charge of the bulls no problem, but Domino? No way.

Domino is more brains than brawn, and that is always more of a challenge for a working stiff like Buddy.

Cheers to you from Domino the cat…
