The words emanated not from an adult but from a young preschool child. She was busy playing in the house- keeping area of her classroom. Her make-believe children (other preschool children) were obviously not behaving appropriately. This play Mother's words worked; sud- denly the play children became angelic, hugging their make-believe parent. How many times do we say to a child; "hush, hush, you can tell me later!" Children often have wise thoughts, not yet contaminated by the present world's jaded input. They may not fully understand the actions of parents, but they know that there is a bonding connection parent and child. Even children who have been abused by parents have a hard time separating from their children. We as adults need to heed the impressions we leave on the children in our care. "I am going to call "Nanny 911." always listen to the words of chil- dren. He shared these poignant and interesting comments with the pop- ulace. We listened and laughed. Did we only listen for comedic enter- tainment or did we listen to "hear?" Another small preschool child said to his grandmother; "I like my teacher, she hears me!" Those gold- en words coming from his lips are Potato bake Art Linkletter made an effort to worth gold. Hearing is so different than simply lis- tening. Hearing shows an interested smile to a child, hearing gives a pleasant response to the young child; hearing becomes a reminder to the parent that small children are oh so wise. alike get into arguments; big arguments and small arguments, senseless alter- cations can occur. No one really wins in arguments. Some such actions lead to violence. Arguments do offer the chance to negotiate and get along better with others. In reality, grown- ups often carry a grudge and do lit- tle to resolve their own disagree- ments. Children on the other hand are young enough to learn about negotiation. Once they have experi- enced the better feeling of negotiat- ing they are apt to carry it on into skills they can use anywhere throughout their lives. Many of us are so busy with the demands on our time that we forget to hear the messages conveyed by the young child. Children and Adults Carolyn Barber was waged not long ago. "If you don't follow the rules at Preschool, then you won't do very well in Kindergarten, and…you may not even get a job!" Did an adult say Another overheard conversation this? Not in so many words. It was spoken by a four year old. I say the child has already gained a lot of knowledge about the way the world works. Out of the mouths of Babes? Listen to "hear" and you will become as learned as a child. We as parents may need to listen to the following words from the pen of Edgar A. Guest.

The problem is, these things require me to give up my time and money. I don't want to make ene- mies, but I truly do not care that your great-granddaugh- ter is having a baby. I don't know the girl and wouldn't recognize her parents.

If you can man- age a card with good wishes, that is more than enough. If they are look- ing only for financial rewards, rest assured they will eventually stop invit- ing you. Dear Annie: I am 63 years old and have been in a serious relationship with ''Frank'' for four years. The only thing we argue about is his ex-girlfriend. They are in continuous contact because several years ago he helped her with a substantial loan and she has been slowly paying it back. At first, this didn't bother me, but after reading a few of her emails asking him to leave me and be with her, she has become a thorn in our relationship. Frank keeps his commu- nication with her secret. I noticed on our cellphone bill that he was texting and speaking with her on a daily basis, and some of the texts are of a sexual nature. While I am sure nothing else is going on, this behavior is disturb- ing. He does not under- stand why this upsets me and says, ''I never act on it.'' keep their contact trans- parent. I have pleaded and I have asked him to The real problem is, threatened. He called her in my presence to say she is not to contact him again except about the loan, but within a day, they had switched to his business phone. She is like a shark circling, waiting for me to leave. He is the only one who has the power to stop it and chooses to let it keep happening even though he knows it hurts me. By the time you get this, I will have said good- bye. I guess I just needed to vent. — California Dear California: Glad we could help you sort out your thoughts. We agree that this situation is not healthy, and Frank is not behaving in a trustworthy manner. Indiana'' asked how to divide up her belongings. My mother-in-law got it right. She invited her chil- dren, in-laws, grandchil- dren and best friends to an open house. If we saw something we liked, we were to write it down in a small notebook. Before we left, we prioritized our list. Dear Annie: ''Old in son wanted something, Mom checked our priori- ties and decided who would have it. When she passed away, we each received a handwritten note from her telling us what we got and why she was happy to give it to us. We each received at least one item we really want- ed, and no one had cause to argue. — B. If more than one per-
