Re: Re:TAPS
Thank you, TAPS! I believe you that you weren't silent with either your boys or your supervisees. :) I also spoke out, something people didn't expect because I am soft-spoken, for an Italian... LOL!

Re: RPresta
Really good comeback. I believe it too. Believe me, I was not silent with my boys no with the people I supervised when I was working.

I agree, Taps. Kids do what you do, not what you say during a
be-good lecture...

I agree with the premise of what you say completely, but verbal expression and the ability to utilize linguistics to achieve communicating our desired goals, wants and wishes, is a skill and an art many parents seem to be losing in regard to teaching that to their children. A parent often must "tell" while showing. I spent many hours from Day One talking with my children. Politically, I dont know...

Good advice here. We do show even when we tell it differently. Both parents and Trump should be aware.
