Parents spend so much time thinking about what their child needs to learn, improve, achieve or prepare for. But childhood isn't just a preparation for adulthood.

Don't let the business of parenting crowd out the joy of actually knowing your child.

Notice:

  • What makes your child laugh?

  • What fascinates them?

  • What silly things do they say?

  • What are they passionate about?

  • What makes them light up?

Your child doesn't only need you to guide their future. They need you to enjoy their present.

Sometimes being a child with them is life giving for both of you.
