Children need our presence and attention from "summary" of Hold on to Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld,Gabor Maté
In our busyness and distractions, we often overlook the fundamental truth that children require our undivided attention and presence. This need is not a mere desire or preference, but a vital necessity for their healthy development and well-being. When we are physically present but mentally absent, when our attention is divided between devices, work, or other responsibilities, we send a message to our children that they are not truly important or valued. Children are highly attuned to the emotional and relational cues of their caregivers. They instinctively know when they are being listened to, seen, and truly heard. Without our full presence and attention, they may feel neglected, insecure, and disconnected. This sense of disconnect can lead to a host of behavioral issues, emotional struggles, and challenges in forming secure attachments. When we make a conscious effort to be fully present with our children, to engage with them in a meaningful way, we create a secure and nurturing environment for their growth and development. Our presence communicates love, care, and support, fostering a deep sense of connection and trust. By prioritizing quality time together, we strengthen the bonds of attachment that are essential for their emotional security and resilience. In a world filled with distractions and demands, it can be challenging to carve out dedicated time for our children. However, the investment of our presence and attention pays dividends in the form of strengthened relationships, improved communication, and enhanced emotional well-being for both parties. It is through our attentive presence that we lay the foundation for a strong and enduring bond that will guide our children through life's challenges and triumphs.
