When we get carried away by the avalanche of routine, especially when we are parents, sometimes we forget the value of words. In a moment of fatigue or frustration, we may come to say things that we would not normally say ... words that in fact we would never say to someone for whom we have respect.

One of the most powerful tools we have in parenting is dialogue. Being able to talk about any topic with our children is ideal for us as parents and that "open field" that we should all have available when a difficult moment arises.
