@Jason, laughing, nice one.

@Janice, those are nice points, and agree totally about learning from what we do and not just what we say. (They also pick up a lot of emotional resonance from the way we say it.)

Being a parent sure must be frustrating at times. Wow, thank god I’m still a “kid”, and don’t have any of my own just yet.

BTW: this could probably help new parents understand parenting a little bit better.

I agree with E Foley (Geek’s Dream Girl). Years of teaching as well as parenting means being hardwired to use as many ways as you can to pass something on. Every visitor to a site has different needs and ways of taking stuff in. Just as every kid has a different sensory learning preference, some readers resonate with the writer’s ‘voice’ or audio links while others respond better to images and charts. Not everyone wants short, snappy lists or posts so streamlined and simplified that there’s nothing interesting left in them. Some folk enjoy a good read and taking time to absorb and extrapolate by themselves.

Can I add to your analogy? Kids learn from what we do, not from what we say.

Thanks, James -I really enjoyed this!

We’re expecting our first any day now. Which leads to another tip: “Just get it OUT of me, NOW!”

[insert clever advice about how you shouldn't beat around the bush when you write; just get to the point and move on!]
