Hi Munch…….she is a woman “27” and has a BA in English and working on a Marketing degree to go with it……..thanks for asking. Daddy’s so pleased…… thanks for the bragging opportunity. 
What about the brood…??? I think I did respond….hmmmm….about my ADD positive house….I try not bore others with tales of my kids……better to bore them with tales about……ME!!!!!!!
I understand the problems…..clearly. I only posted those communication tips because somebody asked. I do understand (as people have posted)…….that they have issues. I guess the point is these are a SKILLS……not always or even often natural skills but are more learned skills, and with time and practice they can become a part of our repertoire, and eventually, part of who we are at home, at work and socially. But….it takes time….and effort……like many good things in life. The alternative is……?????
Sure Bill…I get that…..that is why active listening can work so well for us…….the impatience and impulsive blurting are curtailed due to the “Active” part of the process. Inactive time is our “Demon”….our busy head takes over….yes??
Same Tid……….being idle in conversation enables “Drift” where as “Active” listening is not idle and is a great way to stay focused.
Anyway…..folks as asked for communication tips……sooooo…..asked and answered. They work for me…and they work well, but it took time to develop them…..and desire. They are now a natural part of my “people act”……… give it a whirl…..try it at home. I bet the animated arguments….or heated conversations will be waaaaay reduced. Was at my house!!!
Funny you would think with two ears and one mouth it would be easier to listen than talk…………you would think.
