Deep dives

Children Increase Sensitivity to Others' Feelings

Having children increases your sensitivity to the feelings of other people. As you teach your children about gratitude and empathy, you yourself become a more grateful and sympathetic person. This makes you more likable and appealing to others. Additionally, as you become more aware of the past and future through the lens of parenting, you develop a better understanding of the value of time and how actions in the present shape the past and future. This heightened sense of time helps you create and sell products or services that people need in relation to their past and future aspirations.
