As well as being aware of how we speak to children, it's even more important for us to really listen to what they have to say to us.
So as part of the How to Speak Child project, I have been using a simple set of questions to ask children how they feel about their communications with adults and with other kids.
Sometimes I've interviewed the children IRL or via Skype, but more often parents have taken my questions and held their own interview sessions at home, extrapolating as they see fit.
I also produced a set of questions for parents, and one for professionals. Occasionally these stand alone here, but mostly the responses from parent(s) and child(ren) from the same household are reproduced together.
There are some real insights here, so I hope you enjoy reading them, and do please get in touch if you would like to conduct your own interviews at home or in school.
Interviews with adults M and P, and young boys E and L.
The last in this series of interviews is with Mum M, her son E who is 10 with his friend L who's 9 and P's son, and finally M's boyfriend P, who is not E's father. The family are German and live in Germany. Once again I am hugely grateful for their input and honesty.
Children also hear all the things you don't say. They are so sensible. So it's not only important, what you say to a child, it's also important how.
After his father and I broke up, it was hard for our son and every time I said something to him, about him not doing what he should or something he forgot, he just cried. He was so highly sensitive. His father always told him, he was not good enough and every time I said something negative, my son thought I thought the same way about him.
I told him, that my love is unconditional. And that its okay to cry. But just because I was saying something negative, my love does not change. A year later he can live with constructive criticism.
My son knows 100% that I got his back. And that his feelings always have a right to be.
That he will not talk to me, when he is in trouble. That he just doesn't know how to address his feelings and instead of talking about that struggle, he will be silent.
I am constantly telling him, that I will NEVER turn my back on him. And even if he don't know why he is feeling the way he is feeling, he can talk to me and I will be there, never judging.
After his father and I broke up and he and his parents talked behind my back. My son told me about it and said, that HE KNOWS I love him and that its important, not to believe what they are saying, he is FEELING the truth. He knows I love him. I am telling and showing him every day.
• What really winds you up about how adults speak to you?
Sometimes its hard, just to accept, that we don't have a say, when an argument is over. Adults just say no or yes and we have no say in it.
• What do you really like when being addressed by an adult?
If they are nice and listen to us.
• Is there anything you would change about how young people are treated in society, if so what?
Sometimes we feel not taken seriously. It would be great, if we had more say in the things the adults decide.
• Do you find it easy or difficult to communicate with grown-ups, and why?
Most of the time its easy. Sometimes its hard, because they just think they know everything better.
• What about other children - of the same age, and other ages?
That's easy, if we like them.
Most of the time they understand us. But sometimes they think they know everything better then we do.
• What lesson would you like grown-ups to learn about how to communicate with children?
Be kind and friendly. And know that we have an opinion, as well.
You have to be really careful with the soul of kids, cause things that we already considered being settled and done, leave deep marks inside the child.
I was really loud towards him, cause he did something bad.
My son told me afterwards he was scared of me.
I assured him, I would NEVER hurt him and I will ALWAYS love him. No matter what.
Giving love and security. Being loyal.
That he's not trusting me and therefore is keeping things to himself. That he is not aware of the fact, that I will always be there.
Do you have a strategy for this? If not, what would help?
Always repeat and underline, that he can trust in me 100%.
He struggled, after the divorce of his mother and I. We sat with him and told him, we BOTH will be there for him. He felt secured and loved and got better.
There are some wonderful insights revealed in this interview. It features mum R and sisters B who is 12, M at 14, and 8 year old G. As ever I am extremely grateful to them for taking the time to contribute.
That shouting and negative slanging matches benefit NOBODY. Calmness, rationality, patience, and consistency are key. If only we all had such saintly traits on tap though!
That honesty and clarity are important - even quite young children can grasp the key issues around death, relationships, money, if they're explained in terms they understand. There is no point in fudging issues - telling them that recently deceased relatives are 'sleeping' will only lead to sleep disorders and nightmares (actually heard someone say this at a funeral).
When everyone is tired and at the end of their tether and harsh words are spoken and doors are slammed. The remedy is always to go back, explain the tiredness, apologise, and HUG, before resuming normal service.
That they will stop telling me things that are important to them.
Keeping the communication channels open at all times, so they know that they can speak openly without fear of judgment or criticism about things that arise.
When we are all in the car on a road trip somewhere, chatting, singing to the radio, having a ball together. Probably a combination of positivity, hope and their expectation of a bit of shopping on my credit card ahead!
That just because they're that labels them less significant. They have ideas, thoughts, feelings, problems, etc... AND they think like the future generation will, there's no point in having world leaders for people our age if they can't even connect and understand them.
I'm not particularly good at talking to people I don't know, also not very good at making eye contact when talking (I find it too pressuring on them, like I'm staring into their soul😂😂) which can come off a bit rude but thats never what I mean.
I'm quite nervous when it comes to making new friends but if it's people I know I show them me, all the perks, just me and who I am. So yea, I guess I am comfortable with communicating with other people my age.
It really depends on how much they know me or don't. I suppose it's hard for adults to understand our generation and how we communicate and see the world. So I guess it's a struggle for us and for them.
Try to think more like them.
What are the struggles for children in this day and age?
Only when I'm crying and you say 'You're just tired'.
I like when they are jokey and when they talk to me about important things and be honest with me.
Bad - you get pushed around by older kids, like my sisters!
If they're ones I don't really know that much I'm quite shy, but if it's mum or dad I'm fine.
Kind of the same as the question before - ones I don't know it's not very easy, and ones I do know, like my friends, it's fine.
Sometimes. Cos sometimes they assume I'm tired when I'm upset, but sometimes I can talk about stuff with them and they do understand me.
This interview is an absolute doozy! It was recorded with parents S and W sitting round the table with daughter M,12 and son L,9. There's a real sense of the truly honest family vibe, and I thank them wholeheartedly for their contribution to the project.
L - They're BOSSY! They boss you to do work around the house and stuff.
M - When they correct the way that you speak, so if you're saying 'Haitch' "It's 'Aitch' not 'Haitch'" That winds me up, because I say it 'Haitch'. And pronouncing my Ts as well.
S - And what kind of adults do that in your life?
M - Teachers and Grandparents.
S - Which adults do that?
L - Teachers who don't have any patience.
M - Sometimes when you've done something wrong..they're not angry, they don't shout..they are disappointed. And their voice goes down and it's just…the raise of their eyebrows as well.. and you feel like you've done something terrible.
S and W - Ah! So is there something about tone of voice?
M - Whether they're higher or lower depends on how well you've done. So if they go higher that means that you've done something good, if they go lower it means you've done something terrible.
L - When they're PROUD of you.
S - Do they use different words?
L - Yes. Like 'Woohoo' 'You've done it' or something.
M - When they're, like, being funny, their voice changes again and it's kind of…it's just the way they change their voice.. really depends on how it makes you feel, so sometimes if it's like mhrrrr, "How did the chicken cross the road?" Rubbish…it's just the way it sounds, just makes you laugh a bit more.
S - So you like it when adults laugh with you.
L - But not against you.
S - Do you feel that there's a pressure being put on you to go to a particular school?
M and L - Yes.
M - Definitely - and to do your A Levels well, get A*s, GCSEs, stuff like that.
S - Who does that come from, that pressure?
M - Oh that definitely comes from the school. They're like, "Look, we've got a standard, we've got an average of As. I feel like if I do bad then I'm letting everyone down in my life, and that just pressures me to do extremely well in my classes, and if I get, like a mark down then I feel, I feel TERRIBLE. I'm like, "Oh I'm not as good as everybody else", and it just hurts a bit.
S - Leo, What does it feel like to be a child?
L - I feel like I'm just an ant in the world, some people don't listen to me that well…they just trail off. Like nothing that I'm saying is important. It can be teachers, parents, grandparents.
S - What's good about being a child?
M - Exploring the world?
L - You can EXPLORE the world. You can LIVE. You can, like, jump around and no-one would care 'cos you're a child. If you did that and you're an adult, and you're, like, a businessman… it'd be like Oh My God!!
M - Being able to change your mind a bit more. So if you go to one club and realise you don't like it then you can always change, whereas… so we're a bit more flexible, whereas adults, you know…it's just a bit harder because.… It's going to sound horrible but….
L - Cos they're OLD!
L - and they're old.
S - What about you L?
L - Difficult. Cos like I said before, some adults don't listen to me.
• What about other children - of the same age?
M - It's easy, because they understand everything, so they understand the pressure of being a young person in modern day life - exam stresses, stuff like that.
L - It depends. You've got to take a day to know them. If they're bad….well…say Goodbye to you Dude! Then if they're good - stick with them. It's easier than adults by far, 'cos they actually listen, 'cos they understand us.
S - Okay. What about children of other ages?
L - If they're a child then it would be quite easy.
S - and what about older children?
M and L - Oooooooo!
L - If they're near like a teen, if they're a teenager, I would say, "Stay Back!" Teenagers get very angry.
M - I think teenagers are quite… difficult to talk to, cos they're quite restricted, but if it's someone younger……Yes, so younger people are easier to talk to. Older people are just, yeah, try and stay back a bit more because they're going to be restricted and not want to open up as much.
L - Sometimes. It depends on the situation. If you are tired, then the adults would understand because they've been tired before.
M - I don't think adults understand it..us..because we're going through a different generation. There's better technology, there's horrible stuff going on and we just, we have our own thoughts and people can't just enter our mind and we can't just go out spilling our guts to everyone. So, they don't understand us at all…at all. They can…like know how we're feeling like sad, angry, happy, scared, stuff like that..
L - Yeah, but that's understanding.
M - It's not, understanding is when you can… when they can empathise with you..
M - ..and adults just can't do that now. They haven't grown up with mobile phones. So we can text our friends, but they don't know that feeling of when you're in a group chat and you don't want to leave just in case somebody says something about you. So .. messages, groups, it's a ridiculous amount of notifications that then you don't want to leave just because somebody might say something about you.
L - Yeah but you can always read it back.
M - That's why you don't leave..because you can't see anything that goes on after you've left.
L - Listen! It's a tip.
S - So how can adults get better at communicating with children?
S - Yeah but how?
L - Listening and communicating together equals bonding.
M - Not trying to put words into our mouths. Let us be our own people, cos we're…different. We're unique people, and people need to allow that, and let that be expressed through their own way.
L - That they should listen.
M - The difference between adults talking to adults and children talking to children.
L - It should be children talking to adults, adults talking to children, children talking to children, adults talking to adults… like a mixed group.
S - I would say, do you feel that you have enough time to talk to adults?
M - I think that because they think that we're children we always have to be moving, and so, if we meet someone, there always has to be an activity to do ….because children can talk, children can hold a conversation, it's not like because we grow up with phones and TVs, that we just can't talk.
L and M - We can.
M - I think talking is better than being on your phone, but a lot of things just kind of make us just want to go back to phones.
W - One of the most difficult things I've found was actually realising that this person in my life..maybe my child, or it may be our child.. that actually, they're their own person as well, with their own mind and their own thoughts. It's not a little me and it's not a little you, it's somebody who's completely independent and with their own thoughts and their own feelings and trying to help them navigate through all of those feelings, I think is quite tricky as well. That's what I've learned.
L - But we're in a different situation.
W - I had two children!! .. and I stopped having more!
S - I think there have been times, since Mae, you have become an older sort of little person, and have turned into a medium sized person, I think it is trying to help you deal with problems with your friends, when I've felt really out of control and helpless, and I think there was one situation where all I wanted to do was to get on the phone to the parents of those children and try and sort it out, and say, "C'mon! Everyone's being silly!" and I did step back and just let it be and let you work your way through it, but offered you love and support to do that. I don't know if that was the right thing to do, but I felt very out of control in that situation, and I tried to listen but it was really hard for me to understand how you were feeling.
W - I think the biggest mistake that I regularly make is possibly bringing home the issues that I may have had during the day or it's Sunday night and I'm about to go and teach year one and two in Staffordshire, and my whole Sunday is ruined because I'm starting to think about the journey and having to deal with that information, so in that situation. So - I think outside influences influencing and dictating my behaviour towards my children and my family.
S - Honesty. Absolute honesty - I don't …and I've always said that I will try and share everything with you, even if it's hard, I want you to know the truth about things, I don't want you to feel that you live in a world which is separate to mine, I don't want you to think that I don't have real feelings like you do, so I think that honesty is the trait and the value that I want to share with my children.
W - For me it's humour…um.. I think that to be able to laugh at this world that we live in is really important. But it's also quite difficult because I have a little boy in my life who sometimes gets very, very angry and frustrated at the world when it doesn't go his way. And, I try to joke with him and play with him and at those times he has no sense of humour, so I think humour is really important. That's the trait that I rely on, and I know, M, that you have a very, very good sense of humour.
S - That we stop being able to communicate honestly. My fear is that I stop being able to have open and honest communications with my child. I would hate to think that either of them would hide something from me that was seriously effecting their lives - am making them very unhappy, or if they were in a situation where they felt that they were out of control and they didn't have a way to communicate that to me.
W - One thing that I absolutely hate about my children is the fact that they are both very proud, and they get that from me… and they're very stubborn which is what they get from me and I would hate for that trait to get in the way of our relationship…and…if..any of us made a mistake, that we would be big enough and brave enough to see through our pride, through our stubbornness and our inability to forgive and forgive and love each other.
L - We can forgive!
S - I do not have a strategy for my biggest fear. I'm hoping that the foundations that I lay now, in our honest conversations with each other and not being afraid to ask questions where I know I might not be able to deal with the answer might pave the way for being able to have open and honest conversations later - especially where you make mistakes or you get yourself involved in situations where you feel very vulnerable. I want to have already been through similar experiences with you, so that you feel that I can help in some way. Even if it is just a shoulder to cry on, even if it is someone to shout and scream at. I don't ever want you to feel that you are alone, without someone to talk to to help your problems. So I'm hoping that the strategy is, that I've already put into place the kind of open communications that I want to have with you as you grow up.
W - I am such a bad parent… I don't know … I don't know whether I had kids too young.. but I don't have any strategies. I often find that I just drift from one day to another, and I hope that I make the right decision for the right reason, when it comes up. I have you, S, and you tell me to stop being proud and . . .
L - He has a MASSIVE ego!
W - As you can see I have no strategy to deal with anything about my kids.
S - Do you know what you can do? You can go back to what you said earlier - you have humour - and the fact that we can allow our children to take the mickey out of us and they see us as human because we have a sense of humour with them. We don't set ourselves on a pedastal, so, I think that is the way that you deal with it.
W - I think my job as a dad, or just as a parent, is to make sure that the kids or the young people that live with me are nice people. Because eventually they're going to have to move out and they're going to have to live with other people, and they're going to have to engage with other people and interact with other people, and if they're an idiot, or if they're somebody who I don't like, then other people aren't going to like them, and my job is to try and make sure that they are likeable people - and I think that's really, really important.
S - I think this is a wonderfully right situation where we can involve our children in having quite a sophisticated conversation and that they contribute and that they both feel confident enough to actually have an opinion that they can share with us.
W - I think that whenever we go away or go and see friends or family and we go to somewhere like that and the kids show how great they are, I'm always immensely proud. Often when we come home, we have to pay the price for it as they incredibly tired from being well behaved and everything… but actually I think that what's really, really important is for them to hear how proud I am of them, as young people.
L - Cos we're super amazing!!
S - And who's got the biggest ego?!
W - And I'm immensely happy and proud they take after me so much and not their mother!
S - I think it's something that is really interesting - but I know Nikky's research is already doing it - where it's looking at how your communication with your child changes through their ages, and I think we're going through an enormous change at the moment as our children evolve into a much older age, where we're having much more adult conversations, and they understand so much more of what we're saying. We can't sit in the car and talk about any old thing - because you always are listening. Or we can't listen to things on the radio that are inappropriate because you understand and you listen and you ask questions, whereas when you were a tiny weeny weeny weeny baby… at the time I could just watch whatever, say whatever, because…no, that sounds really awful… but the baby..
S - It's like, so… "How does your communication with your child as they grow up?" That would be a question.
W - Yeah. I think that's really important - how can you… What are those things stopping you from communicating as well..?
S - What are the barriers?
S - But, it's not just the kids exclusively, it's you as well..
W - I was just going to say, that it's not just them, it's me, it's this fear..
W - It's the outside world and this fear that we might be missing something or that we always have to be on the go, and..
S - But the other thing I like about the phones is that it isn't a completely isolating thing - would you say? I mean we share a lot, we share things that we find on the internet or we share games..
S - ..and I think that sometimes our own phones have been something that's brought us together like when we share something or we're really excited..
M - .. And sharing videos with each other that we can remember, so things like Timehop, when you have a photo from like eight years ago when Leo was in my push-chair..
W - ..and he was wearing a tutu..
S - ..and doing the Lion King..
This is a forthright set of answers from V and her son A, who is just 10. As ever, I'm very grateful for their contribution.
I've always believed in telling kids the truth and not keeping anything from them. Obviously you try and sugar coat things to an extent but I never lie or run away from being honest with them.
I've always had a very open and honest relationship with Arthur but sometimes the boundaries between adult and child get blurred when it's just the two of you in the house. Because I've treated him like an adult, unfortunately sometimes he forgets that I'm the parent, so when it comes to discipline, I have to be a lot stricter to get a response.
I think we've got a really good relationship, he's got lovely manners and a lot of empathy towards other people.
Teachers tell me off for no reason and they're very angry. Nothing else bothers me.
I like being praised and being spoken to nicely.
I think it's very easy because I can make friends very easily as well. I just make small talk pretty much.
It's very easy - I pretty much do the talking.
No - they tell me off for no reason at school. Other grown ups understand me because I'm very funny.
Stop telling them off so much.
Here are mum F and son L's responses. It's interesting to see how L is strongly effected by events around him on both a global and more personal scale. Once again, my thanks to both for their contributions.
Patience, patience, patience. Clear words and not too many at once.
Empathy, is that the right word? Trying to see it from his point of view. I think.
Lies/ not talking and not feeling like he can talk to me about anything as we move slowly closer to teens.
Not yet. I just tell him when it comes up in conversation about secrets, that he can tell me absolutely anything. I'm on his side we're mummy and daddy and are on his side.
When we've all just had a really lovely day where everyone has co-operated and all has gone well and we've all had a laugh. Maybe when we're calmer/ relaxed not occupied by jobs better slept etc?
I think maybe about when I can't answer them back and it makes me want to go 'aaaagh!' and give them a piece of my mind. And I get the trouble and he doesn't.
Happy, just like normal not grumpy.
Yes I would like to change in Syria where they use children as shields but in this country like aggressive or angry.
Sometimes I do sometimes I don't - they might say stuff I don't know.
Yeah, cool, we can do back chat together and we can have fun with our Pokemon cards and they can't tell me what to do and I can tell their mums and dads and it's sorted. I like sitting on the trampoline and me and K we talk about everything and then you come down and say will you let S on the trampoline and watch him while you make dinner and then we have to play with S and he's do so boring but he can be cute when we talk I don't know his wwwwmmmmsss stuff he says but I know what he's saying.
Yes adults understand me. Why? Well because you mummy will know that what the word will be. Sometimes I'm not allowed to say what happened and they believe them instead and I get into trouble.
Mum can I have some chocolate? Not until after dinner. Eurgh! It's always after dinner, mummy when I'm an adult I'm going to eat chocolate while you're cooking dinner and when I'm 18 I'm going to watch 19 films. Fab I say I'll look forward to that.
What I want them to learn is to let the children … let all the anger in …learn that children just have to be able to let all the angers out. I want the teacher or the dinner ladies or the bank manager or you know … to listen to my side of what is that happened.
Has something happened today L? No mummy not today. Mummy can I give M a treat? You gave her the last one last night. Oh mummy poor M's got no treats. Oh I'm sure she'll cope darling. Mummy if M could talk I'd back chat with M.
Mum can I have some chocolate I don't want to do any more.
Here the responses are from mum B, then daughter N aged 9 and son S who is 7 and on the autistic spectrum.
To be consistent and fair. And to admit if you're wrong. The relationship between my kids and I has benefitted from the fact that they can see that adults don't always get it right too, and that getting something wrong isn't the end of the world. Also, allowing them to finish what they are saying and encouraging turn-taking in conversation has been useful. Also making time to communicate face to face - at the dinner table, on a walk - just talking. And learning to listen. Quite often the kids are trying to tell you something, but disguise it as something else. I feel it's my job to try to get to the crux of the problem for my kids if they'll allow me too. Also, encourage them to speak in depth with other trusted adults. Our kids have lost a young cousin in the last year and at times have worried about talking to us about it, as its painful for us too, but they have spoken in depth to Aunties and Grandparents.
Take a deep breath and start again. Calm down and remember that you are the adult! Don't be afraid of saying you took the wrong approach, but move on positively.
Listening, empathy and sense of humour!
That I will lose that open conversation. That they will not share real fears or worries as they are older and get into inappropriate or precarious communications online. Especially with Stan as he will be a vulnerable adult.
We talk openly. I ask questions. We already talk of the 'issues' of online communication rather than the dangers as they will need to use this medium. But also reiterate that they can tell me anything, no matter how terrible they think it is. They are my children and I want them to know I'm aways there for them.
Listening. Making time. Being honest and also using physical affection as and when needed. Also, especially in a disciplinary conversation explaining why.
Maybe discuss physical communication. With Stan, this was particularly useful, i.e. signing. And also the use of physical affection to confirm what you are communicating. Both my kids benefit from this.
N - When people are really loud. When they just talk to you, just before they shout at you. Why can't they just shout at you first and get it over with. Then they just carry on with the situation after they've shouted and you just want it finished and done. And when they use fancy words that you can't understand.
S - Only when they're angry. I only understand the second time someone says something. But I don't want them to repeat it too many times.
N - When you don't have to make eye contact. When they talk to you for your appropriate age, not in a baby voice. They ask about your day, ask about how you're feeling and dig deeper into your personality.
S - Nice, that's all.
N - Sometimes older people don't give 7 to 11 year olds much attention; it's all about the younger ones. When you're at the supermarket and your parent meets someone and they just keep talking. Good things are when you make really good friends and have a really good time. When I talk and feel listened to some of the time, but it depends on who you're with and what you're talking about.
S - Good as I'm little and I won't like it when I'm tall, because I like being tiny.
N - In the middle because some grown ups you can just talk to and others you feel really shy with and you can't talk at all.
S - I like speaking to grown ups because I like how they speak, its nice. I like talking to grown ups.
N - It depends. If it's someone you know and have known for a long time it's easy. But if it is someone you've just met, especially if they're older, it can feel intimidating and you don't want to talk.
S - I can get shy with some children sometimes. I like speaking to people I know. I don't want to go near new people.
N - Adults don't exactly understand because sometimes when you're feeling one way they don't understand or get it. Then that makes you feel that emotion more. Then when they ask you why you feel that way you just can't explain. And also when you're talking about something they don't keep track and you end up talking about something different. But adults do understand you a lot of the time. It's occasions that they don't.
S - I think they do sometimes.
N - Not to use baby language on older children. Not to carry on about something that happened a long time ago. And use words that children will understand and don't be too loud.
S - Use words that I understand and talk normally.
It gets more complicated as they get older so pick your moments wisely and think before you speak! Also I have found conversations in the car are good as there's not much eye contact so they don't feel like you're interrogating them but they also can't walk away. Also communicating with boys and girls needs to be handled very differently.
There are a few occasions but a lot of them stem from me choosing to discuss something when I am tired or irritable and so I tend to be more confrontational or going on too long about something, labouring the point even though I can see they have switched off, talking at them rather than to them. On these occasions I tend to apologise afterwards and simply state my main point, sometimes via text which they can digest in their own time, and always end with telling them how much I love them.
Patience and perseverance in equal measure.
That there will cease to be any.
Perseverance, like any relationship communication is reliant on both people taking part but I think if we persevere in asking questions and talking even they simply offer teenage grunts we will keep lines of communication open for the times when they do want to talk.
When we were on a family holiday in Turkey with friends. We had no work or school pressures, there was intermittent wifi so we played games and chatted and just enjoyed being together in a completely stress-free environment with a good mix of family and friends.
Not sure about questions, think parents would rather have answers!
NOW FOR C AND J…..
C -They can be really patronising sometimes.
J - They talk too much.
C - Being spoken to like an equal.
J - When they just get to the point.
C - Not to stereotype teenagers, society seems to think of all young people in a negative light, assuming they are up to no good or have low morals.
J - Not to always be so suspicious of them, like they're always doing something dodgy.
C - Easy, because I'm lucky enough to know lots of adults I feel comfortable with and can trust.
J - Depends on what you are talking about.
C - Very easy, younger kids are easier to entertain with silly chatter and older kids you can have proper conversations with about similar stuff that you experience.
J - Quite easy because they usually understand what you're talking about.
C - Not always, sometimes they assume that we think the same way they did when they were our age, that we have the same priorities they did.
J - Sometimes, it depends what you are talking about. They don't really understand about tech or social stuff that goes on, actually there's loads of stuff they don't get because things are so different to when they were my age.
C - To back off a little, we don't always want to talk about things, just let us know that you're available if we need to talk.
J - I don't know, they can ask too many questions, especially about school and they don't get what school's really like for us.
C - How would you like an adult to respond when you do talk to them?
Not to judge or always try and offer a solution.
This interview is with G, the mother of 11 year old K, who both live in Belgium. G answers first, then she gives a short introduction to K's interview. I'd like to thank them both deeply, G for her honesty, and K for being willing and smart enough to speak to me in a language that is not his native tongue, and for mentioning poo!
Read him all i.e., his words are only part of a layer, don't get stuck on what he says but read his whole being.
My ego, my inside monster, my need to control or help or be right or teach or show the best way, my way, can blast it's way through me as a huge temper tantrum and a shout which squashes and squeeze K into a tight ball. Shut up G. Listen. Go for a walk with or without him if the need to meddle becomes too strong to swallow.
Practising feeling my instincts and acting on them with my brain. The heart is a good ruler and the brain is great guide. Not the other way round.
On the understanding that K is sensitive, meaning that everything he is presented with and bumps up against goes in deep and far but because he is shy and not a chatter it can get stuck, risking going rotten and bad and eating him up from the inside. He needs to learn what his out lets are, whatever they are, as long as they let the crap out and the good can turn to good lessons learn. K and me go out a lot together. Walking, bike riding, running, to theatre, to see an art exhibition and mostly he's pretty dry and unenthusiastic about all but it does the job and lets off steam. K and me got out together to make our relationship move. Sometimes is moves backwards, sideways and explodes and sometimes magically moves on.My greatest fear is that our relationship gets stuck. The ebb and flow is everything, there is no blue print, there is no other example to follow, although these roles that we are in are older than the mountains but is not a solid thing.
I plan in my head for the day he refuses to go out with me. I train my brain to say that if I have passed on to him good handy tools with which to manage his anger, fear and joy then this is time to let go….. ah!….. and do the things that I have not done for years because I have so busy with K. K will come back, sporadically, and I need to now start practising enjoying seeing him grow up and away from us. Ideally. The reality is less hippy though.
Doing nothing with him i.e.: sitting down with him, for as long as I can, without my agenda interrupting what happens next. He is the leader. Very different from being available. Hanging out and letting it all hang out until it stops, is doing nothing to make something happen. Being available is already doing something to make time for something to happen.
K is sensitive, which is deeply misunderstood. He was extremely shy, also very misunderstood. He's not a chatterbox, and he's a boy whose happy place is home, and at home, and in his home in his pyjamas with a book all day at home, inside, please….. or on stage. His language and academic learning skills are, well, less, while his emotional maturity, his social skills and practical side is maturing and blooming very nicely thank-you. He doesn't eat sweets, but does like a good strawberry tart.
It's a hard question for me, I can't really think. Nothing really pops up in my head I don't think there's a lot really that adults annoy me most.
If they talk to me, I like them to be a bit interesting and a bit nice. That's how I like it. Polite and kind. Some people in my school are not really like that.
What I like is that you are still young and you can…ja…you have your whole life still, if you are young.
What I don't like - you're a bit small. I mean I'm 11 but I am smaller than some people that are 10 years old. But I'm not the smallest.
Sometimes I find it easy, sometimes not - ja, it hangs over but…sometimes with my mum it's a bit hard to get a.. sometimes for me it's hard for me to talk with grown-ups, but most of the time it's easy to talk with grown-ups. It's hard to explain actually. It's hard for me to know why. When I meet a grown-up I know really quickly if I like them or not.
It's quite easy to talk with other children, but of course there are some kids who are a bit mean to me, so sometimes I am able to play other games with other kids - but not football cos I'm not really into football. But yes - with other kids I like. I like playing handball, I think you call it in English, and I like basketball, and other games, but those are the two main ones. My friends and I, when we spend time together, we talk a lot.
I don't think they understand me so well, because my English and my Flemish are not so good. Also I had something very bad wrong with my ears when I was younger. They understand me quite easily, but in the end it's quite hard to understand me sometimes. It's difficult to say why.
Sometimes I have to show them with my hands or with my face what do I mean or stuff I am saying.
• Would you say you are a happy person?
I'm mostly a happy person. What makes me unhappy? If a person goes in front of me then I don't really say to them, I just let them be or if I get a bit cross with them, I just walk away and play with someone else or talk with someone else.
What is the thing in the world that makes you feel best, what's the thing that really makes you feel good?
If people are quite happy, and….I can't really find the word…if people are like really patient with the world, like if they see something on the floor, like poo. Where we live there's a lot of poo on the ground and we don't like clearing it up. We think that if their dog poos on the ground then people should pick it up.
Make the world nice for one another.

Noticed this news item.
Is this the same Michael Kwong who used to be a broker with Macquarie?
Bad luck!!
BTW I could be wrong but I am pretty sure he used to post on HC as Mikee88 in the dotcom boom.
Former Victorian securities dealer permanently banned
28-Oct
Mr Michael Kwong of Malvern East, Victoria, has been permanently banned from doing any act as a representative of a dealer or an investment adviser, following an investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
The banning order was made after ASIC found that Mr. Kwong had not performed efficiently, honestly and fairly the duties of a representative of a securities dealer and may not in the future perform efficiently, honestly and fairly the duties of a representative of a securities dealer.
Between January 2002 and May 2003, Mr. Kwong was an authorised representative of Smith Barney Citigroup Australia Pty Ltd, a licensed securities dealer and stockbroker.
Smith-Barney terminated Mr. Kwong's employment in May 2003, when it became aware that Mr. Kwong had been conducting discretionary trading in shares and options on two client accounts in breach of the Smith-Barney compliance guidelines.
Smith-Barney reported its findings to ASIC. Subsequent investigations by ASIC found evidence to substantiate these findings. ASIC also found evidence indicating that Mr Kwong had opened a client account in a false name using a fake driver's licence.
Mr Kwong consented to the permanent ban, while making no admissions in relation to his conduct. The ASIC investigation is continuing.
Investors can check whether an investment adviser or securities dealers has been banned from the industry at ASIC's website www.fido.asic.gov.au.

What is food stamp "trafficking"?
Trafficking is the sale of food stamps for money or non eligible items. A food stamp recipient commits trafficking when they use their food stamps to buy ineligible items or for in exchange for cash. A retail store commits trafficking when they exchange cash for food stamps, or when they sell ineligible items.
If you are a retailer you face harsh consequence if you are found to be trafficking food stamps. The agency which investigates food stamp trafficking is the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service. The USDA FNS investigates retailers that accept snap benefits in several ways.
If a retailer is found to have committed trafficking, the penalties are severe. The FNS may permanently disqualify a retailer for trafficking, and they often do matter of factly without further investigation. For many retailers, disqualification from the SNAP program is detrimental to their business. Some store simply go out of business if they are unable to accept SNAP because they can't compete with stores that do.
Section 278.6 of Title VII of the United States Code governs the penalties for retail stores for trafficking. FNS may disqualify any retail store from participation in the program if the store is found to have violated the Food Stamp Act of 1977. The FNS gathers evidence of a violation by making on site visits to the store, a review of redemption data (particularly inconsistent redemption data), and a review of transaction reports from EBT systems.
If a retail store is disqualified, disqualification is for a period of 6 months to 5 years for the store's first sanction. If the store is sanctioned a second time, then the period of disqualification is 12 months to 10 years.
The law states that a store found to have committed trafficking will be permanently disqualified from participation in the program.
If a store is disqualified and wants to be reinstated at the end of the disqualification period, the store must file a new application for participation under §278.1. FNS will review the application as a new application in order to make a determination about whether authorization to participate in the program will be available.
FNS has the discretion to impose a civil monetary penalty (CMP) in lieu of a disqualification. FNS may impose a civil money penalty of up to an amount specified in §3.91(b)(3)(ii) of this title for each violation in lieu of a permanent disqualification for trafficking, as defined in §271.2. For a retailer, the CMP is the best case scenario because the alternative is permanent disqualification.
When FNS has gathered enough evidence of a program violation or trafficking, the USDA FNS will send the retail store a charge letter. The charge letter will state the violations or actions which FNS considers to be the grounds for disqualification or grounds for the imposition of a CMP. The letter must specify the actions which constitute the violations. The charge letter will inform the retailer that they may respond within 10 days of receiving the letter. The response can be either in writing or orally, by phone.
The retailer must submit to FNS a response which offers information and evidence regarding the violations or actions. Any explanation of the circumstances will be helpful to a retailer's case. The store must send the response to the officer who sent the charge letter.
When a retailer is accused of trafficking, the USDA FNS will send a specific charge letter which details evidence of trafficking. The trafficking charge letter states that the retailer must notify FNS if they wish to be considered for a civil monetary penalty instead of permanent disqualification. This request must be made within 10 days of the letter, and there are no extensions allowed for this. If the retailer does not make a request for CMP within 10 days, or fails to make the request at all, the retailer is barred from getting a CMP in lieu of disqualification.
If the retailer is disqualified, disqualification is effective upon receipt of the notice of determination, even if a request for review is filed. If the administrative or judicial review under part 279 reverses the disqualification, the retailer has no recourse for the value of the loss of sales or revenue during the period of disqualification.
Retailers who request and are determined to be eligible for a civil money penalty in lieu of permanent disqualification for trafficking can continue to participate in the program pending review and shall not be required to pay the civil money penalty pending appeal of the trafficking determination action.
Retailers that request a CMP in lieu of a permanent disqualification for trafficking must submit to FNS information and evidence stated in §278.6(i), that establishes the firm's eligibility for a civil money penalty in lieu of a permanent disqualification in accordance with the criteria included in §278.6(i). This information and evidence shall be submitted within 10 days of the charge letter for trafficking.


RALEIGH, N.C. -- As much as the New York Islanders needed a victory, they also needed to regain confidence in their back end.
Now they go into Friday night's road game against the Carolina Hurricanes with both.
Each of the teams played Thursday night, with the Islanders defeating the New York Rangers 3-0 while the Hurricanes dropping a 5-2 decision at New Jersey.
"Everyone was on the same page for the most part," Islanders center Mathew Barzal said. "There was a lot of pace to our game."
The Islanders won for only the second time in seven games this month. They had allowed 25 goals in the previous six games, so a shutout was even more rewarding as they attempt to regroup.
Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak needed 50 saves for his first shutout of the season.
For the Hurricanes, they'll have a chance to recover from their hiccup with yet another home game. It will be the ninth game on home ice during a 10-game span.
"I think the guys realize it's time," Carolina coach Bill Peters said. "I don't want to waste any more time and waste any more opportunities to get points. You've got to play that way, you've got to play that way each and every night."
With Thursday night's setback, it means the Hurricanes failed to match their season-high five-game points streak.
"We believe in ourselves if we just play," Peters said. "If we do our job, the standings will take care of themselves."
Yet the Hurricanes certainly have an eye on the standings.
They also have developed more depth across recent weeks, so there's a chance for lineup changes if Peters and his staff determine there were specific flaws from Thursday night.
"There's probably more flexibility in our lineup now," Peters said. "Now we have more moving parts and a dangerous offense."
Carolina is bound to turn back to goalie Cam Ward after Scott Darling was dinged for five goals in Thursday night's game. Ward has been the primary goaltender for the past month.
Ward is 5-1-1 in his last seven outings. He also was the winner in the Nov. 19 game against the Islanders.
The Islanders had so much attention on their rivalry with the Rangers that they'll certainly have to refocus for this next game.
Islanders defenseman Dennis Seidenberg was back in the New York lineup for Thursday night, but it's unclear if it will be that way for a back-to-back when he takes on one of his former teams in Carolina.
The Hurricanes are also a former team for Islanders coach Doug Weight, who played for the 2006 Stanley Cup champions.
The Islanders and Hurricanes split two mid-November games. They also meet March 18 at New York.
For this game, the Hurricanes have a special mother's event, which included players' mothers traveling for Thursday night's game at New Jersey.
"It's a different perspective from the fathers' trip," Peters said. "... fewer cigars and Scotch."

Just when you think acne's bad, scars appear! Post-acne scars can seem hopelessly stubborn, but we're here to help.
Know the problem. Are the marks on your face acne scarring?
Redness and discoloured marks right after acne heals are not technically scarring, but could be post-inflammatory, hyperpigmentation and/or post-inflammatory erythema. Because they're not scars, they eventually go away.
On the other hand, there's scarring. Sometimes, the damage can be so bad your skin loses collagen and elastin, its main support structure. Other times, your skin produces too much collagen, resulting in raised scars. But whatever the type of scars, you don't have to live with it forever.
Only treat skin that has healed, not openly erupted. Treatment products' moisturising qualities may not do so well on open wounds.
There are lots of clinical solutions including lasers, fillers, and micro needling. However, these are often costly and come with their own set of potential risks. If you're keen on trying interventional treatment, do plenty of homework.
A solution you can start right at home is Hiruscar Post-Acne, a clinically-tested gel designed for post-acne skin. It improves how scars look, keeps skin healthy and targets post-inflammatory redness and dark spots.
Think of it as a superhero acne scar-busting dream team of active ingredients: There's MPS (mucopolysaccharide polysulphate), which promotes the natural wound healing. Niacinamide encourages the elasticity of scar tissue and suppresses inflammation. Allium cepa minimises the size of scars and helps them look smoother, while allantoin hydrates skin, keeping it soft.
Try Hiruscar Post-Acne twice-a-day for better, clearer skin. Another bonus– it's not greasy at all, so you can layer skincare and makeup on as soon as you're done.

The earliest inhabitants of Puerto Rico are believed to have lived there as early as 2000 BC.
The first European to discover Puerto Rico was Christopher Columbus in 1493 on his second voyage to the New World.
Juan Ponce de León founded the island's first settlement on August 8. 1508.
Old San Juan dates back to the 1520s.
The English translation of Puerto Rico means rich port, an apt description.
Puerto Rico's capital city is San Juan.
The official language is Spanish, although most locals speak at least some English.
U.S. citizens don't need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico.
The local currency is the U.S. dollar.
San Juan is Puerto Rico's largest city and busiest port. If you are taking a cruise San Juan is where you will disembark. San Juan's primary allure for tourists is Old San Juan, the city's oldest section. Old San Juan is home to numerous historical sites including UNESCO World Heritage sites La Fortaleza, the forts of El Morro, San Cristóbal, and El Cañuelo, and the old City Wall. Additionally, Old San Juan has many good shopping and dining options.
Condado, a popular beach and resort area, is in San Juan, and Isla Verde, another popular beach and resort area, is just outside of San Juan.
Ponce is Puerto Rico's second largest city and is located on the southern part of the island. Most people visit Ponce for its museums, which include the Museum of Puerto Rican Music, the Ponce Museum of Art, Castillo Serralles, Tibes Indian Ceremonial Center, and Museo de la Historia de Ponce.
Rincon is on Puerto Rico's west coast and is home to many of the best surfing beaches on the island including Domes, Marias, Tres Palmas, Sandy Beach, Pools Beach, and Rincon Town Beach Plaza. This is the destination for people who want to hang out on the beach in a low-key atmosphere.
These two regions are located on Puerto Rico's northeastern coast. They are known for their beaches and proximity to El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System. Two of Puerto Rico's most luxurious resorts are also located here. The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort is in Rio Grande and the El Conquistador Resort is in Fajardo.
Vieques and Culebra are the two largest and best-known Puerto Rican out islands; small islands off the main island known as the Spanish Virgin Islands. These islands have the most beautiful beaches in all of Puerto Rico. You can access them for a day trip or longer by ferry from Fajardo, flight from San Juan, or private charter boat.
Unlike many Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico isn't a great place to find all-inclusive hotel deals. In fact, Copamarina Beach Resort in Guanica – on the island's southern coast – is Puerto Rico's only all-inclusive hotel.
In addition to hotels, there are rental homes and condos available in Puerto Rico. You can find them through Internet companies such as VRBO, homeaway, and airbnb, or by contacting local real estate agents.
Sightseeing – Puerto Rico offers lots of choices when it comes to sightseeing. Are you a cultural sightseer? Then you will enjoy Puerto Rico's many art and history museums, old forts, cathedrals, and lighthouses. Are you interested in the rum industry? Bacardi Rum has tours of its factory in San Juan. Are nature and the natural world where your interests lie? You won't want to miss El Yunque National Forest, Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve, Vieques National Wildlife Refuge, and Arecibo Observatory.
Casinos – There are over 20 casinos in Puerto Rico, most of them in hotels. The legal age to gamble – and drink – in Puerto Rico is 18.
Shopping – There is something for everyone when it comes to shopping in Puerto Rico. You can visit malls, outlet centers, and small, specialty shops. Plaza las Americas in San Juan is the largest shopping center in the Caribbean with more then 300 stores. Puerto Rico Premium Outlets in Barceloneta offers discount shopping at numerous name brand stores. And you can find many one-of-a-kind items at the various independent retail shops throughout Puerto Rico.
Water Sports – Puerto Rico is a water sports mecca. Among the activities you can enjoy are swimming, surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, and boat charters.
Land Sports – Puerto Rico has numerous sports that can be enjoyed on land too. They include hiking, golf, and horseback riding.
Extreme Adventures – In addition to some of the more extreme water sports already mentioned, you can go ziplining, explore caves and sinkholes, and kayak in one of the world's only bioluminescent bays.
How much do you want to spend? This should be your first decision. You can often find Puerto Rico vacation deals at travel consolidator websites like Expedia, Travelocity, and Cheap Caribbean.
How do you want to book your Puerto Rico vacation? Are you interested in Puerto Rico vacation packages or do you prefer to look for independent Puerto Rico vacation deals from individual hotels and airlines? Booking a package is definitely faster and may be cheaper, but booking independently provides you with more choices and, contrary to popular belief, can even be less expensive.
Where do you want to go while you are there? When planning your vacation to Puerto Rico you will want to orient yourself since Puerto Rico is a fairly large island. Use this map of Puerto Rico to find the places you want to visit.
What time of year do you want to visit? / What's the weather in Puerto Rico? Puerto Rico is blessed with a tropical climate so the weather is mild year round with temperatures ranging from 70° to 90°F (21.1° ? 32.2°C). April through November are Puerto Rico's wettest months. The official hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, but the instances of a major hurricane hitting Puerto Rico are relatively rare.
Puerto Rico makes a wonderful vacation destination for people who love the beach. It's also a good choice for history and architecture lovers, foodies, and gamblers.
You're so cool! I don't believe I've read through something like that before. So great to find someone with some unique thoughts on this subject. Seriously.. thank you for starting this up. This website is one thing that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality!
This is just the right place to spend holiday. It is such a wonderful vacation destination.

California launches open-source COVID-19 forecast tool

Jun 26, 2020 | STATESCOOP
Faced with a new surge in coronavirus cases, California officials on Thursday launched a new open-source assessment tool that allows users to see different forecasts of the continued spread of COVID-19, including projected infections, hospitalizations and deaths.
Gov. Gavin Newsom described the California COVID Assessment Tool, or CalCAT, as a "model of models," incorporating the statistical projections offered by several leading research institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Imperial College London and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. In a press release, Newsom said the tool is directed at technologists, medical professionals and members of the public, as California tries to navigate through the pandemic.
California, which was first to implement a statewide lockdown in early March, has logged more than 200,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to the state Department of Health. But as more parts of its economy have reopened, including gyms, shopping centers and indoor restaurants, the number of new infections per day has spiked, with the 14-day average hitting 4,079 as of Thursday.
The CalCAT tool offers three different types of assessments for both the entire state and individual counties. The first, which Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state health secretary, called a "nowcast," looks a the current rate of new transmission, often referred to as "R." While California has a statewide transmission number of 1.07 — meaning each infected individual spreads the virus to slightly more than one other person — some counties have much higher figures. Contra Costa County in the San Francisco Bay Area, for instance, shows a transmission rate of 1.32, meaning "spread of COVID-19 is likely increasing rapidly."
Next is a forecast of projected hospitalizations, intensive care utilizations and deaths. Here, the models suggest a grim few weeks ahead for California: While the state currently has 4,095 people hospitalized with COVID-19, the "ensemble" projection — based on a combination of the various models — estimates there will be 14,682 hospitalized by July 25. Meanwhile, the various models contributing to CalCAT's data set show that coronavirus deaths could rise from 5,632 now to anywhere between 5,800 and 11,000 by late July.
Along with the nowcast and forecast tabs, CalCAT also allows users to create their own scenarios for what might occur in the coming months if the state or individual counties relax, maintain or strengthen their public-health guidelines like business closures and stay-at-home orders. Under one model, lifting all restrictions within 30 days could result in more than 115,000 deaths statewide by September.
"We wanted to put together a tool so you can see the average and those numbers get in the hands of local health officers and decision-makers to guide future decisions," Ghaly said at a news conference Thursday. He said he wanted researchers and data scientists to "play with the tools, challenge them, make them better."
In addition to offering charts and graphs, the California Department of Health is also making CalCAT's source code and data sets open to the public. The state's anonymized COVID-19 data has also been added to California's open data portal, Newsom announced.
"California is home to some of the world's most accomplished researchers, technologists, scientists, acclaimed universities, and leading technology companies," he said in a press release. "I am opening more California data for them to help inform our efforts in combating this disease."
