Also, while listening to the Word, I cannot understand the Word well due to the cries or noises of children.
When you can't concentrate on what you're listening to because you can't do it or the atmosphere is distracting, and your mind is taken elsewhere
In this case, the seeds cannot fall into the heart field properly.
