What silence tells us
Sometimes, the most valuable thing a child can say is not in their words, but in their silence. It is in those moments that their thoughts, fears and dreams are most clearly revealed.
Paying attention to silences means observing carefully, accompanying without intruding, and offering a safe space where children feel heard even if they do not speak. Every pause, every glance, every gesture is a form of communication that deserves respect and understanding.
At OjosGrandes, we want to remind you that listening is much more than just hearing: it means being present, recognising the depth of what is left unsaid, and accompanying children in their inner world.
Valuing their silence teaches them that their emotions matter, that their thoughts are respected, and that, with patience, there will always be someone willing to understand them.
