Show an interest in the things that interest my children.
This may sound simple, but sometimes in the fluster of daily preparations, I forget to slow down and spend time to really admire a Lego creation, focus my listening on a newly composed piece of music, or study a freshly drawn picture.
These things are important to my children and therefore they should be important to me!
I should stop what I am doing and really pay attention to whatever it is they are sharing with me.
Slow down, make eye contact, and smile.
These may sound simple, but I forget them. This is my reminder to myself!
