Spiderwebbing

This is not what you automatically assume, no I have not been bitten by an indigenous exotic trait of toxic tainted yet ozone acceptable eight legged anacrophobiatic spider.

This is in fact a term that explains a technique of answering or explaining a matter to another individual.
It means to explain in such a manner that includes all the extra information we often neglect to add.
An example perhaps?
"Amanda Airhead is not trying out for the swim team this term"
would spiderweb into the following;
"Amanda Airhead, the seemingly natural blonde whose father drowned last week after falling into a vat of beer, will not try out for the swim team as she felt she be ridiculed by the other team members.
The team member guilty was a notoriously hairy steroid addicted shot-put specialist who had discovered the art of shovelling in food and swallowing without the added complication of chewing.

Spiderwebbing in all seriousness is a technique that can be learnt by all.
It is simply the explanation and justification of a point of view in a simple uncomplicated manner and attaching all the relevant information.

I have put this into practice with my girls and it is a pleasant change from the simple logical "fix it" route I used to have before. Its a real pity I didn't know it earlier as it could have prevented so much heartache. Better late than never

Tell it like it is, with all the bits.
