I’ve come to believe that effective Verbal Communication is not a gift to be passed down to our children but rather an essential responsibility on the part of parents, who have sought to learn, absorb and role model techniques of conflict resolution that prove compassionate in nature so as to be consciously passed down to their offspring in order that as individuals, making up a civil society, we succeed in moving forward through each next stage of life.
Unfortunately, reality suggests that historically, verbal communication is so often misused during moments drought with conflict that our words act like bullets discharging from machine guns assembled by morons so as to misfire, thus assaulting the self esteem of our listeners with insulting abuse much more often than not.
As long as we do not offer pre teens required courses concerning the Id, ego and super ego, which fight inside our brain space for control over our thought processors, we can expect unskilled conflict resolution to wreck havoc with our relationships within our homes, businesses and political arenas, all of which remain unhinged and therefore, fall apart based in the failure of families—the basic unit of social structure—to change for the better from one generation to the next.
The information concerning effective conflict resolution that I’ve chosen to learn, absorb and stuff into my brain space ever since my second son was born in 1971 (when my first son turned two) suggests that it is every parent’s solemn responsibility to seek out and role model communicative changes for the better if we want our kids to follow suit. In short, if we hope to put the kabash on engaging in WWIII within home after home then the art of mutually respectful communications has need to become common knowledge ASAP!
Why? The family that learns how to resolve conflicts effectively with mutual respect intact chooses to play with each other once everyone grows up!
