Oh, I didn't mean to imply that you HAD to wait until you were out of your teens....just that they should wait till they're ready. And that that often isn't as young as some start.

Basically, I think you're right. Gotta be able to talk. It's something I hope I can do when I have kids, it wasn't something my parents were terribly good at. I don't suppose you're giving tutorials on the subject, sounds like you're doing a bang up job .
