Work has our attention, media has our attention, and when we’re driving...the road has our attention.
Between work, family needs, friends, school functions, personal groups of interest, the internet, cell phones, and TV…we always seem to be busy...
Between work, family needs, friends, school functions, personal groups of interest, the internet, cell phones, and TV…we always seem to be busy...
And it’s nearly impossible to find a few moments for ourselves...
Let alone our kids.
Kids don't always have really important, or interesting, things to say. But they still want you to listen.
When you give kids eye contact, they know you are paying attention.
We shoot off half answers, because we are only half listening.
And they know it.
They are no different than adults...when you look at me with your eyes, I know you are hearing me.
They want eye contact....just like you want from them when you are scolding them or teaching them something new.
With so many things to occupy our time, eye contact seems rare these days...
But, it is something that makes a person feel special, at any age.
Whether they be blue, green, brown, hazel, gray....etc...
Make it a habit to stop long enough so you will see those beautiful angel-eyes of your child.
It will tell them that they are the most important thing in your life...
