The idea of my child facing some trauma and me knowing nothing about it is just awful. I can't imagine that happening as I'm pretty intuitive, but still, it's a terrible thought for all the children who go through such fearful situations without anyone to turn to... @Luschka @ Diary of a First Child: You are so welcome and I hope you find it useful when your daughter gets older.

I love the Low/High idea - my daughter is only 8 months old but I hope to remember it because it seems such a valuable idea. Apart from showing kids that adults have fears etc too, I think it's a really important way of finding out what's going on in your childs life. I heard recently of a young girl who was being badly bullied at school and her parents had no idea. I found that so sad! Thanks for such an inspirational post. These are such fantastic ideas!

I'm thinking about it right now, so thanks for the prompt to make it more conscious. I love the idea of some kind of marker to show who's speaking, and yes sticks are traditional but the shell really appealed to me because it also can encourage us to listen to ourselves when we put it to our ears and that's just as important in my mind.

You're right; in our fast paced world, we often forget to listen - it's such a gift to offer to others - an open heart and two open ears :D @Sarah @ OneStarryNight: Hi Sarah; thank you for your comment.

I hope it went well :D @<a href="#comment-1760" rel="nofollow">BluebirdMama aka @childbearing</a>: Oh bless you; thank you so much. I feel the women taking part in this carnival are simply amazing. I would love to have the time to comment on ALL the posts, but I can't do that. Anyway, it's a blessing to be able to visit just a few to gain insight and share in the profound wisdom and stark honesty that is poured onto the pages... @<a href="#comment-1762" rel="nofollow">Sarah</a>: Hon, I wasn't raised in that sort of environment either, but it is SO easy for us to talk because I wanted it so much myself. One of my number 1 criteria for being a good parent is that my DD can come to me about ANYTHING; it's so important for all relationships; to feel you will be listened to without judgement. You will be ok; I can feel it :) @<a href="#comment-1764" rel="nofollow">Maman A Droit</a>: Your SIL is a lucky woman to have you in her life. We can only plant seeds; what happens to them is none of our business; but I am sure you've inspired many, many people. We just don't always get to see the results of what we have sown ;) @<a href="#comment-1765" rel="nofollow">Melodie</a>: You're welcome Melodie; I hope you enjoy making one; it can be a very creative process if you like (or as simple as picking up something and using it - the symbolism is what matters!) @<a href="#comment-1766" rel="nofollow">Amber</a>: Amber, what a wonderful gift you share through helping women to breastfeed; I sure wish you'd been around 8 years ago as I found it very hard and had no support apart from my husband, who although wonderful and amazing couldn't even know how it really felt ;) @Joni Rae: Very cool! I hope it went well :D
