I am late on my Monday post so here it is instead on Wednesday!!
I hope that I am giving credit to the right person for this quote. I copied it several years ago so here's hoping I am right. I believe it was by L. Elizabeth Krueger from Raising Godly Tomatoes:
"Life is often "hectic" around here, but my kids come first so I just have to practice saying 'no" to outside activities and anything optional that would prevent me from staying "connected" with my kids.
On a daily basis though, I work to maintain the habit of always being "available" to my children. That means, that if they come to me for just about anything at just about anytime, I STOP WHAT I AM DOING AND GIVE THEM THE TIME AND ATTENTION THEY WANT AND NEED. I make a conscious effort to never brush them off, whether it's a 5 year old who wants to show me his latest Lego creation, or a 20 year old who wants to chat about this day at work."
