The Gift of Time
Summer is a magnificent time to give your child the gift of - undivided attention. When I walk everyday I watch families spending time with their children while totally ignoring them. Being outside watching your child ride their bike while you talk on the phone isn't really being with your child. Going to a Saturday matinee and spending the entire movie texting isn't being with your child. Standing talking with a neighbor while your child is creating a spectacular chalk drawing isn't being with your child.
If everyday you would take 20 minutes to really be present with your child you can give them the gift of 140 minutes of love a week. For children undivided attention equals unconditional love. How great would it be to gift your child 7,280 minutes a year, and 131,040 minutes by the time they graduate high school? If you took time to create something as precious as a child take time to enjoy every minute possible of your wonderful creation.
