“Hey you, listen up! Listen here, pay attention, focus”.  From an early age, we are told to listen.  How we are taught to listen likely comes from the adults we are surrounded by.  Children observe those around them, and communication is modeled and often then replicated.

Some of you may be thinking, “Oh no, it’s already August!”  One of the most common responses I have heard this season when asking someone how their summer is going tends to be how it is just going by too fast.  Many of us yearn to enjoy the sun-filled days of summer.
