Your children will need finely honed communication skills for every relationship they will ever have. As workers, whether in the position of an employer or employee, they must understand others and express their thought to others. As husbands and wives, they need the same abilities. As consumers, citizens, members of the body of Christ, and parents – in every stage and station of life – they must learn to speak with precision and accuracy. They must gain facility in drawing others out. Home is the place for developing these skills. What a great advantage the child has who has learned to articulate his thoughts and to understand them.
