More than anything, your kids want quality time with you. It's not important how much time you have or how much money you spend on toys or activities; they want you- to focus on them. Being with them. Let's do this!

This is a great parenting tip for almost all kid activities:

[Jamon @jamonholmgren]

Tip from an old dad:

When your young kids are playing at a playground, and it’s approaching time to leave, they won’t respond well if you say “Okay, time to leave, come here!”

Give them more heads-up. And not based in time — they won’t understand. Instead, say something like “Okay, we are getting ready to leave — but I’ll give you FIVE more trips around the playground! Go fast!”

This worked great with my kids over the years. They didn’t feel cheated, because I was generous with the amount of “final trips around the playground”, and it gave them a bit of time to adjust to the fun time coming to an end.

1/ Good advice from this article on ‘Dopamine Parenting!’

It’s about understanding the brain’s reward system and how it affects kids’ cravings for screens, sweets, etc.📱🍦

1/ Parents, Are You in Sync or Parallel Parenting?

Parallel Parenting is like being on two treadmills side by side - you're moving but not making real progress together. It’s when you and your partner are parenting your kids but functioning almost independently.🚶🚶‍♀️

Are you feeling distant from your friends after becoming a parent? Many parents do. @robertwaldinger emphasizes the need to reach out and be proactive to keep relationships strong.

So write that text, make that phone call. You might be surprised!

Make each day count, and don't let the weight of yesterday slow you down. Will Rogers reminds us that as fathers, we have the power to shape our present and future; as long as we don’t dwell in the past.
