The Quiet
Superpower

Listening πŸ‘‚

Hi, Henry! πŸ‘‹

Hi, Jack! πŸ‘‹

Today we find a
hidden superpower.

It’s not…

flying πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ

running fast πŸƒ

or super-strength πŸ’ͺ

It’s listening.

πŸ‘‚ ✨

But here’s the trick.

Listening is
tricky.

It’s not just
keeping quiet.

A small child sitting cross-legged, clearly focused on listening β€” eyes looking gently up at an unseen speaker, ears visible, mouth softly closed, body still, one small hand lightly touching their own chin thoughtfully

Listening uses
your whole body.

πŸ‘€ Eyes

watching the person
who’s talking.

πŸ‘‚ Ears

open and ready.

No “uh-huh-uh-huh”
while you keep doing your thing.

🀫 Mouth

quiet…
until it’s your turn.

🦡 Body

still.

Wiggles can wait.

❀️ Heart

curious.

“I wonder what
they’re saying?”

Two small brothers sitting close together, the older brother telling a story with expressive gestures, the younger brother leaning in listening with big bright focused eyes and a little open-mouth ‘wow’ expression, both absolutely connected in the moment

That’s the superpower.

“I really hear you.”

When we listen…

we learn.

we love.

we become
a friend.

🀫 Super-listener challenge.

Today, try to be
the best listener
at dinner.

See what you learn.

You are super-listeners,
Henry.

You are super-listeners,
Jack.
