Teach Your Kids How toTalk!

So, I have 5 kids. They all bring home 5 friends. Most days I’ve got 10 for dinner, but they all know, when they enter my house, they must leave the word, “like” behind. ‘Like, I don’t want to HEAR it!’ If you think before you talk, then you don’t NEED the word LIKE. It’s only a delayed thought process mechanism. That word gives you time, to think about what you want to say.
Contrary to what us radio people have been taught, ‘dead air’ is OK. If you don’t know the right word, or the correct thought, take a minute, breath, and think. There’s no need for the word, “Like…” Right? And let’s go on for a minute…

Teach your kids to be expressive! One thought at a time. Even if it sounds choppy, it’s better than a list!

Kids need to be taught, that space between words, is GOOD. It makes us want to hear, what’s coming next! Some PD’s need to be taught that too! LOL!

The funny thing is, my home is the one, that all the kids want to come to, even with my crazy rules. Once they’re in? They don’t want to leave. All kids need guidelines, but I also encourage them to color outside the lines, but just make sure we know what it is that you’re coloring! Be articulate, be creative, be real, be you.
