June 2006 - Drum Beat

The Drum Beat, an online publication of The Communications Initiative, published "Listening to Parents" by Eve Sullivan (PARENTS FORUM) and Jamesa Wagwau (New Vision Uganda).

From the article . . . "Parenting is fundamentally an emotional task, carried out by human beings who were also parented. We believe that viewing emotional awareness as the basis of parenting gives us a fundamentally new perspective. With this view, we see that it is essential to place primary emphasis on listening to parents."

A drumbeatchat discussion forum on listening to parents will follow. You are invited to express your opinion.
