Oh they're listening!

Although at times it may appear that your child is doing everything but listening; it could however be the exact opposite.
Perhaps you have been in meetings with adults who are clicking their pens, drumming the desk or tapping their feet. Just like you and me, children often need busy hands to quiet their minds enough to interpret the messages we are giving them.

On this particular day our little friend who is doodling in the sand was very quick to correctly answer a question posed to the entire class. She was one of the only children to answer and did so without even looking up!
