My business partner is my 9 year old grandson, Justin. He was updating him on my learning curves in squeeze pages, affiliates, joint ventures, ebooks, and promotion. He listened to me very attentively during my long explanation on each topic. I’m trying to teach him how to work with other people; how to run a business and how to develop dreams for the future he looked into my eyes as I continued talking and showed interest in what he was saying.

I was really impressed with how he listened and knew he understood everything. In her great wisdom, she looked at me and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but keep learning.”

As adults, we strive every day to teach our children about life. Sometimes we give long explanations or sometimes we just shout our point of view. We blame children for not listening to us and tell them: “you never listen to me.” However, have you considered that maybe they don’t know what you’re saying, it’s beyond their comprehension? It is true, that based on their ages, we can speak over their heads and expect results that they cannot give us.

Our children expect us to teach them how to grow. However, they also expect us to know how to teach them effectively. If you have more than one child, then it becomes very complicated because each child has a different personality and a different learning curve. It is your job to find out what works best for each child. My mom and dad had four children to teach; and we kids felt their frustration when we did something wrong and they started calling us by the wrong name. However, children listen to adults and if they understand what we are saying, most of the time everything will go smoothly.
