Actually, as a former teacher and mother of 12 children, this is what good teachers and parents do on a regular basis: read children’s unspoken cues and find a way to speak/listen/relate to those rather than to what we see on the surface.

Yup. 12 children. I’m Varda, the women with the 12 kids. I’ve written about that. Luckily, I got used to them one at a time, like every other parent.
