Listen Before Advice

Speed
A worry arrived mid-yard like a half-told story.
Spike listened. Suzy listened. Advice waited its turn.
Listen-before-advice is care that does not interrupt pain.
Care hears before it fixes.
Adventure Cap wanted instant solutions. Care said ear first.
Thinking Cap habit: listen, ask one question, then offer one soft idea. Cap does not magic-solve.
The speaker softened. Help became welcome, not shoved.
Little Thunder practised mahogany listening (which looks like standing still).
Kids: when a friend worries, listen before you advise.
Care listens. Lead offers one soft next step.
Tools remind. Soft ears still matter.
Listen first. Then help.
Ear before fix.
