Have you hugged your kids today? Just askin’ …
Oh, and this came up this week. Do you give your kids your undivided attention or do you find yourself lost on your phone or tablet?
Kids notice. They especially notice if they’re trying to get your attention and the aren’t able to get you to focus on them.
If you have that someone new in your life that your kids may not have met yet, you may be particularly prone to secret messaging while kids are with you on your parenting time. This is double the distraction, with you checking your phone or on your phone texting and meanwhile kids are going to be noticing and drawing their own conclusions about what that means about them being important to you and a priority.
Be thoughtful, be present…
