“Right after the 9/11 attacks I was living near Oakland in California with a buddy who had also grown up in the skate/punk scene of the 80s. We were so shell-shocked from the attacks that we sort of regressed into this childlike mode of filling our apartment with '80s memorabilia. We got all of our favorite skateboard decks off of eBay, bought a bunch of old independent trucks, we got a credit card so that we could buy 720 off of a videogame vendor, we sat around listening to T.S.O.L. and The Misfits playing 720 and pretending that we were still living in our childhood.” StillsChildhoodListeningSceneOur ChildrenIndependentCreditBunchCardsCaliforniaSatPretendingPunkApartmentShellsShocked80sFillingTruckBuddyCredit CardDeckChildlikeSkatesMisfitsEbayVendorsVideogameOaklandMemorabilia Author:Rick Remender

“I want to write about the great and powerful thing that listening is. And how we forget it. And how we don't listen to our children, or those we love. And least of all - which is so important, too - to those we do not love. But we should. Because listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force...When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life.” WantShouldWritingChildrenImportantIdeasForceGrowsForgetPowerfulCreativeStrangeListeningOur ChildrenForget ItStrange ThingsMagneticThose We Love Author:Brenda Ueland
“We should all know this: that listening is not talking; [it] is the gifted and great role and the imaginative role. And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective, and learns more and does more good. And so try listening. Listen to your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, your children, your friends; to those who love you and those who don't, to those who bore you, to your enemies. It will work a small miracle. And perhaps a great one.” KnowsShouldTryingChildrenDoeMotherFatherTalkingEnemyRolesWifeLove YouListeningHusbandMiracleOur ChildrenBelovedYour ChildrenBoresListenersGiftedImaginativeNot TalkingGreat OnesYour HusbandMagneticTalkersBores YouSmall Miracles Author:Brenda Ueland

“The answer to our prayer of how to meet our children’s needs may be to more often technologically disconnect. Precious moments of opportunity to interact and converse with our children dissolve when we are occupied with distractions. Why not choose a time each day to disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other? Simply turn everything off. When you do this, your home may seem quiet at first; you may even feel at a loss as to what to do or say. Then, as you give full attention to your children, a conversation will begin, and you can enjoy listening to each other.” NeedsGivingFeelsFirstsMayChildrenMomentsHomeSeemsTurnsOpportunityEnjoyPrayerLossAnswersAttentionTechnologyListeningQuietConversationOur ChildrenYour ChildrenEach DayWhy NotDistractionOur PrayersConversesPrecious Moments Author:Rosemary M.
