I remember walking across campus to my dad's office every day after school for over a decade.Upon my arrival，I would find my dad sitting at his desk，surrounded by piles of papers and books.Although the empty chair sitting beside him was probably for a colleague in need of guidance or a college student seeking scheduling help，I always believed that empty chair was for me.
    Dad would look up from whatever he was doing and greet me with a smile.Then，as if just at the same time，he'd place the cap on the black felt-tip pen that he used to grade papers or draft notes.The pen cap gesture was my signal.It meant my dad wanted to hear about my day.Sometimes I told him a few things；other times I went on and on about something exciting or dramatic that had happened at school.My dad would listen，nod，and sometimes add his two cents.Without fail，my dad would smile as if hearing about my day was the best part of his day.
    This was the routine.From my first grade through the senior year in high school，I had after-school chats with my dad.I can't remember a time when he said he couldn't talk right now，even when he was working on his paper，dealing with challenging issues，or facing budget cuts.
    My dad wasn't perfect.He lost his temper sometimes.He worked too much.He experienced periods of depression. But even through the rough patches，my dad was always there for me.He was never too busy or too distracted to hear his son's thoughts and opinions.
    So though the critics say that giving a child our undivided attention creates a child who thinks the world centers around him or her，I believe otherwise：Having a parent who listens creates a child who believes he or she has a voice that matters in this world.
