I think that communication skill is one of the single most – if not the single most undervalued yet utterly essential skills in being a parent, a husband or a wife. Reasons to be a skilled, competent communicator abound. Who of you has shaken their head in contempt of the parent you see at the [...]
Well, we did it! My daughter is now a year old, and if you’ve been keeping up with my 365 Project, you’ll see she’s already walking, talking, and learning how to play soccer.
