We are humans; very adept at having emotions and feelings that may not necessarily translate into words or actions that are coherent. This primal urge we all have to be heard is innate to us. Young and old, immature and mature, female and male, intentional and not intentional; patience is our tool to understand and progress.
Children are always unable to convey to us what is it they feel or need at the moment. This is why we must do our utmost to be patient. Our utmost to be attentive mentally to understand what is it that needed from their perspective. Communication is a tool among individuals who have had shared experiences. As we grow older, it is a great probability that we tend to forego the way we used to express our feelings or emotions and attach words instead as the other individual would be able to comprehend us. What happens when this idea though is new to an individual over the other? Patience must be practiced in order to understand the need or want of the child, but can also give a chance for the child to develop their communication through sounds, gestures, mannerisms, and eventually words.
Much is the case when we grow older we forget certain ways to communicate, being young has the opposite characteristic in that the communication way is either not present or so new that it is not considered to be used immediately. Patience will pave the way to this communication to establish it in order to truly understand each other. Be the case, parent and child, spouses, mentors, teachers, friends, family, or loved ones. I implore all of us to be patient beginning with myself to truly understand how to properly communicate by listening or comprehending gesture or the like to be able to build a bridge between us. May god bless you dear reader, may god keep you dear reader, and may god protect you dear reader.
