Kids Say The Darndest Things. . .

A conversation between 2 kids:

"My family loves me a lot and they always have time for me: to play, talk or help me."

Other kid: "My family loves me, too. . .but my mom and dad are always texting or on the computer."

Hearing this broke my heart!

It made me want to scoop this precious kid up and offer an afternoon of flying kites, reading books, making forts with pillows and old blankets in the living room, playing dress up, talking about life, etc. Kids grow up so fast and someday it won't be cool to be seen with Mom or Dad. Savor these moments when they still want to be with you! Moms and Dads, you are their heroes! I hear about it every day at school - how they beam with pride when they got to spend special time with you or did a fun activity or had a good talk about something. Never underestimate how affirming it is for them to have your undivided attention. :)
