I read a book titled "What Kids Need Most in a Mom". So as I am working from home for this season, I realized early on that all kids need is YOU! They just need you to be present. You are the best toy that they could ever have. When the lights in the remote control car go out and the DS record has been broken, they are looking for you. Who do they want to rock them "nigh night"? YOU! Who do they want to kiss their "oughie"? YOU! And it's not because you are considered last resort or leftovers. You are their comfort. So when all the gadgets and play dates at the video arcade fizz out, realize that they really don't need those things. They are great additions but no one can ever replace what they need most: YOU. You just being you. Showing up and being attentive to their whole person.
Always with love,
Aurellia
