HIT PAUSE AND SAVOR CHILDHOOD’S LITTLE MOMENTS The Kid Clock Is Ticking
One minute they’re wobbling through their first steps, the next they’re asking for the car keys, and time seems to have sped up somewhere in between. Kids grow up fast, and as parents, it can feel like you’ve missed out on so much in the whirlwind of school assignments, milestones, and endless to-do lists. You can’t stop time, but you can pause and take steps to ensure you make the most of the cherished experiences together. Choose moments over multitasking. Distractions are everywhere, from phone notifications in your pocket to the near- constant pressure of maintaining your career. Take every opportunity you can to be present with your kids. Even if you’re
just sitting down to watch a movie or all gathered on the patio, put your devices away and focus on what your kids are up to. Engage with them, ask questions, and join in on their games. You can make the most of this precious time by remaining mindful and looking at their smiles instead of screens. It’s more than just a meal. One of the simplest ways to connect with your kids is to share a meal. This can be tricky with busy school schedules, long work hours, and the natural growing pains and pressures of their getting older. But even one shared meal a week can bring you closer together. Whether breakfast or dinner, when everyone sits at the table to eat, it invites the whole family
to open up about their lives, dreams, and plans. No matter how quickly the years seem to fly by, having that daily or weekly moment of connection can create lasting
connections and stability. Love the stage you’re in.
Your children will experience many different stages in their lives, and it’s important to cherish each as it unfolds. It’s easy to mourn the sweetness of their infancy or worry yourself sick about their teenage years. Instead, enjoy the phase they are in and think about how you can support them. Focus on how you’re preparing them for what’s next, not what you’ll miss about their younger years. Keep your sights on their future and all the exciting moments to come.
