A tired child does not say "I am tired", but will instead fight and whine about a variety of things. Adults more often than not act in the same way – we do not verbalise our feelings and needs openly and directly.

Being a parent means spending a lot of time in close quarters with other people, with frequent and close interactions. It is a virtual training camp, and by learning from the universality of these encounters, we enable a more effective communication with other people; kids as well as adults.
