All declarations
I M giving my presence, the one gift my children keep long after the rest is forgotten.
Wisdom
Children do not remember the price of the toy. They remember whether you were there when they turned around. Presence is the one present that never ends up in a landfill.
Carry It
Give one child your full, undivided presence today, phone away and eyes up, for as long as it takes them to feel it.
Ask Yourself
Would your children describe you as around, or as merely providing?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
