Observing communication between
adults and children can be difficult because often time’s conversations are
quickly paced and very one sided. This week we are going to look at “My Hippie
Grandmother” by Reeve Linderbergh. This book shows the relationship between a
young girl and her grandmother. The relationship is a wonderful weekend of
growing and learning together. They visit the garden, farmer’s market, and
picket city hall together. The relationship is one where the granddaughter is
learning through doing with her hippie grandmother. Her grandmother is
supportive and caring.
“My mother
is a lawyer. My dad works on TV. My grandma says someday I’ll find the perfect
job for me.”
Overall the communication is caring
and affirmative. If I had to imagine the conversation continuing I can see the
grandma being a wonderful active listener, nodding and smiling while listening
intently to her granddaughter’s opinions and insights.
