I am proud of hubby who is so good at counseling people, especially teenagers. Friends’ kids/teens seem to listen to his advice and philosophy more than their parents’.

Although I don’t have any child yet, I know what a kid wants and how he feels more than his own parents.

Sometimes what a kid wants is pretty simple – just be his listener. A good listener. Listen to him rather than giving him advice or nagging at him.

Also, always try to be in his shoes and understand why he says such a thing or feels certain way.
