Adults generally do not listen to children because…
• Listening is not considered important as much as speaking skills. For example, there are awards for speaking skills but there are hardly any awards for listening skills.
• Listening is hard to do. It is more than hearing sounds.
• Listening means thinking about the things you hear and requires time and the attitude.
• Speaking allows us to control and direct where as listening puts us at the receiving end.
• Adults feel that only experience can teach and hence they have nothing to learn from children as children lack experience.
