Quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - French Writer

'Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.'

I laughed quite heartily at this one though having given it some thought there is an element of honesty in this. It isn't just them who ask 'Why?' all the time. It seems we are all striving to understand each other and it is, at times, intensely frustrating for both parent and/or grown-up and child.

We need not only to listen to our children but also hear what they are trying to tell us even though their behaviour may not be appropriate at the time. Skills in communication are learned through our example... we are obviously very good at it then!

I could be babbling there but it's gone midnight and I'm getting all philosophical and it's far too late to be getting into all of that so I leave you to just simply enjoy the quote.
