Prioritizing our children over other commitments is important from "summary" of Hold on to Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld,Gabor Maté

In our fast-paced world, it is easy to get caught up in the demands and distractions of daily life. Work, social obligations, household chores - they all compete for our time and attention. But amidst this chaos, it is crucial that we remember our most important commitment: our children. Despite the pressures and busyness of modern life, we must prioritize our children above all else. When we prioritize our children, we are acknowledging the profound impact that our presence and involvement have on their development. Children need us not just for physical care, but also for emotional support, guidance, and connection. By placing our children at the center of our lives, we create a secure and nurturing environment in which they can thrive. When we prioritize our children, we are sending them a clear message that they are valued and loved. In a world that often values productivity and achievement above all else, our children need to know that they are our top priority. By consistently putting them first, we build a foundation of trust and security that will help them navigate the challenges of life. Prioritizing our children requires us to make sacrifices and choices. It means saying no to certain commitments or activities in order to make time for our children. It means setting boundaries with work or social obligations to ensure that we are fully present when we are with our children. It means being willing to put their needs above our own desires or convenience.
  1. Prioritizing our children is not just about what we do, but about the mindset and attitude with which we approach parenting. It is about recognizing the profound responsibility and privilege of raising a child, and committing ourselves wholeheartedly to that task. When we prioritize our children, we are investing in their future and laying the groundwork for a strong and healthy relationship that will last a lifetime.
