Listening is a skill and the earlier we learn to do it well the better. Listening is the process where we receive sounds through our ears and transform them to meaningful messages. We receive a message, process sound waves, understand what we heard, remember and evaluate it and then respond accordingly. Communication occurs in a given language, which requires a human response whether it be verbal or non-verbal (body language). As we age physically our cognitive skills develop. Children who are spoken to and have meaningful conversations demonstrate listening skills that are more complex. They have the ability to follow all directions when told what to do and follow rules more effectively.Reading live examples and stories of other children about listening in a fun interactive manner is one way to develop strong listening skills at a young age. Not only are you interacting with your child, you are encouraging dialogue.Troubalo with Buffalo is a fun educational read demonstrating to children that listening matters. Listening to rules is important as they serve to help keep us safe, help guide us effectively and support us. When we don't listen to instructions or follow rules we can put ourselves and others in danger. Along with a good lesson on listening to instructions the book has colorful pictures with lots of different African animals like the African buffalo, elephant, okapi, giraffes, rhinos, meerkats, eland, waterbuck, baboons, monkeys, anteaters and oryx. You learn new words in a different culture and introduce your children to new characters of color who are the main characters of the story.Don't delay in helping your child develop complex cognitive listening skills.
