Bermuda now has a generation of children who are lacking in listening skills because they spend too much time e-mailing and texting. This is the view of overseas expert Jenny Mosley who spent a week on the Island to spread the word about the importance of “old-fashioned listening skills”. She believes it’s “a sign of the times” that the over-usage of technology has left children not fully developed in basic listening skills. Ms Mosley said parents weren’t helping the situation as many were “too busy or stressed” to properly communicate with their children. For example, she said parents say ‘give me a minute’ when their child asks a question instead of giving their full attention.
