| Article Title :: Listening Skills for Single Moms - 5 Effective Tips |
| |
| 1. Be open to listening, your son has something valid he wants to say`They say’, we have two ears and one mouth for a reason, to speak more than we listen. Sometimes as moms we get wrapped up in our busy lives and forget (not deliberately) that our sons are there and they need us to listen to them. Not just listen to the words they use but listen to what is behind the words. Say, for example you are on your way out, perhaps to the shops, perhaps to the internet café etc and your son says to you, `mom are you going out?’ It’s usually obvious to both of you that you are going out – what is he really asking though?
