In the fast paced living process we all experience nothing can be more frustrating than when communications go down and you can’t get the results you desire. The issue is more wide spread than first thought.

Verbal communication and the ability to convey our wishes to children are two of the most important and often time consuming patterns of daily living. However, countless parents seem to be unable to communicate with their children.

I hear parents claim it’s like talking to a wall or as if their children are living on another planet.

Well, in a way, they are!

Adults have an instruction channel they use to convey multiple directives to other adults. Children have an imagination channel in that same place and often think in small packets or even one point of focus at a time.

The adult instruction channel is not compatible with the child’s imagination and fantasy channel.

When adults come in a door they think about opening, going through and then closing the door. Children think about going through only and opening becomes a functional reasoning of how to go through. Closing the door has little to do with the process of opening so children often fail to close the door behind them.

Learning to think and talk with your child is an art of patience and understanding. Parents simply cannot expect the child to suddenly grow up to their adult way of communicating.

There are a lot of times when the truly impressive efforts over the years go almost unnoticed and taken for granted and no gold medal or award of recognition is given even though it is deserved.

Certainly those efforts yield better results in life, career and influence, but if not for our kind words of encouragement little else might be said about the patterns of our children and family members.

My oldest daughter is certainly deserving of a gold medal for her living patterns while growing up. She was a wonderfully delightful child, a gifted student and never strayed from her goals and determination to excel as a person.

My youngest two girls are following in her footsteps as strong students with great personalities filled with happiness and love.

Each is no less deserving of a gold medal for their efforts and hard work than any athlete. However, their reward will eventually come in a better career, higher income and a solid fulfilling family life. I couldn’t be more proud of all three if they had true Olympic gold medals hanging around their neck.

As parents you should celebrate the living efforts and victories of your children and family members. Take the time to place them on the family winner’s podium and acknowledge the quality results they are getting.

Sometimes it’s a special dinner just for them or perhaps a minor reward of something that brings them happiness just to say thank you for being a quality individual that isn’t afraid to work hard to achieve success.

As I was leaving a large chain store today I happened to see a young man walk up to a lady as she unloaded her shopping cart into the trunk of her car. Inside her car was a young child, sound asleep.

This teenage fellow took her cart and returned it for her so that she would not have to leave the child to do so herself.

As I passed by him I immediately commended him for his kind actions and his response was that even though he regularly helps others few ever thank him.

One of the best ways to anchor quality thoughts and actions in young people and children is through praise. Your character is strengthened by taking the time to share a few simple words of thanks and encouragement that acknowledge their efforts.

Train yourself to take notice of the good deeds of others and let them know how much you appreciate the fact that they live with a degree of human excellence. It will go a long way toward making your day and theirs.
