Old blog posts never die, Lucille. And point taken.

I realise that I’m a bit late on this one. Looking at the dates of these comments I wonder whether my remarks may get lost in irrelevant cyberspace, but never mind. I would like to post a warning about taking too many photos. This is not dissimilar to the social media fascination syndrome (SMS) of which you speak. My brother in law is a case in point. He is always so busy photographing the moment that he forgets to live it. Beware of addictions. If I see no reply to this comment, I’ll assume that everyone has got the point.

I too am concerned about communication skills of the upcoming generation and to that end I have written a book entitled “Get Your Children to Listen: Grow Great Communicators”. I am a teacher and feel our childrens social skills, not to mention leadership skills are at risk due to these shortcomings. My aim is to help educators, child care workers and generally anyone working with children, to encourage them to learn to work, play and communicate with others in a productive way. Listening being 50% of communication suffers due to the devices children choose to communicate with require no listening…only reading shorthand. Body language, tone of voice, the look on a persons face, these and so much more are all components of communication lacking in todays methods of communication. Normally, I like to go face to face with the person I am dealing with, to promote my book, but in this case it is not possible. I am asking you if you would like to take a brief look at what I have said in print (I have a brief outline available) and you can see from there if you are interested in going any further.
Thankyou, Marci Sharpe
