Ssssshhhhhh!. . . .This is one of the first words we teach our children when we train them in the art of hunting. The whisper as a constant form of communication is practiced best in the woods. At its core a whisper in the woods is a form of self-disciple that every hunter must exercise if he wishes to accomplish his hunting goals in the field. Passing this skill on to the younger generation can be challenging at first if not comically difficult. Parents who seek to establish good hunting skills in their kids will find that this task can be difficult in the initial stages. Yet, to whisper as a form of constant communication with your kids while hunting seems to produce a need to get closer to each other and to listen more intently. Whispering during the hunt seems to create a special unity between those hunting. All of these things we as parents wish to instill or establish with our children: self-discipline, better communication, stronger unity, sharing a common goal. It seems that hunting can help to bring about some of these qualities. Take the time to teach your kids the art of the hushed voice in the woods, the benefits of self discipline in communication, and maybe it will spill over into the rest of their lives.
NOTE: Our heavenly Father sometime speaks to use in a hushed voice. He may be doing so because He is trying to teach us something. SSSHHHHHHH. . . . .are you listening?
