Not only does it help with behaviour in this instance, but I feel that using the proper diction is necessary for effective communication throughout life. Imagine how many little arguments could have been avoided with just a little better choice of words!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095503592125789945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-28152895639437866632010-02-16T01:04:06.420-06:002010-02-16T01:04:06.420-06:00Just started reading your blog.

I'm saddened that her enthusiam must be dampened but also cognizant that it's a reality in our society, since touch isn't always a good thing. Sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
