The Importance of Seizing Moments
Parents have limited opportunities to engage with their children, and those moments should not be taken for granted. Each request from a child to participate in an activity or share a concern is a chance to connect, and ignoring these moments can send the wrong message. If parents appear too busy or uninterested, children may eventually stop asking for their attention altogether. It's crucial for parents to respond positively and fully, showing their presence and commitment to being involved in their children's lives.
