Hey,
You know, as parents, we have a
very important tool we use on our
kids all the time.
In fact, we mostly use it without
even knowing it.
However, how we use this tool
determines so much about how our
kids turn out.
It's our attention.
The way we give our kids attention
- and what in our kids we pay
attention to - determines so much
about their futures.
In fact, many kids who grow up
feeling awkward and self-conscious
do so because they didn't get
enough attention and approval from
their parents.
So they question if everything they
do is okay. On the other hand -
kids whose parents take an active
role, and are interested in
everything from their classes
to their video games...
... grow into confident,
self-assured adults.
It's not as "cut and dry"
a formula as that, but your
attention definitely goes a long
way.
Now, I'm sure already you're
fantastic about this :-)
But, it's so easy to get caught up
in things, that sometimes we need a
reminder to remember the "little
stuff" like this.
So consider this a warm reminder
:-)
