Tracy, thanks so much. It’s kinda hard to remember on a daily basis just how much they are, and then they parrot something back to you in public that makes you say, “I wonder where they learned that,” all the while knowing they learned it from you when you forgot they were watching…not that I’ve ever been in that situation…

Thanks Inderjeet! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for reading, Innderjeet!

Tracy, I remember seeing some grafitti while traveling in Switzerland. We were driving down this picturesque road and there was a utility house on the side of the road. Someone had spraypainted a little alien and the words We Watching You

I think about that sign every time I think about my daughter and what she hears and sees. We watching you… all the time!

But no pressure 😉

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Amanda, you’re totally right. It’s those relaxed, totally not on your guard/filter moments that are the ones where you think back and cringe about what your little sponge of child was listening to.

Thanks for the comment, I am so glad you enjoyed it and found it valuable!

Craig, it’s an ongoing battle in my mind to remember my daughter is listening. The things she repeats…at the most innapropriate times. :-0 Work in progress, that’s me! 🙂

It’s funny that we often forget that our kids are listening and getting a very clear view into what we actually think about things when we talk about other people around them. We are so careful when we are talking to our kids, but it’s easy to forget that they are listening (and learning) all the time, not just when it’s directed to them or about them.

I’m glad you enjoyed the post, thanks so much for your comment!
