Greetings!
How would children finish the sentence: "Something I wish I could teach parents is..."? Many want to teach a few listening skills. In this issue, you'll find a link to some moving requests by children about the importance of listening, a mini-virtual arts tour, and a listening wish I added to Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Project.

The national PTA gathered quotes from children beginning with the
phrases: "Something I wish I could teach parents is..." Many wished
they could teach parents to listen, and their urgings are honest,
insightful, and important--not only for parents, but also for any of us
who have children in our lives! Click here to listen to what these children had to say. |

respected-and that they would continue to be treated that way for the
rest of their lives." - Linda Eve Diamond |
