If you live in the USA, the new school year is about to start. In some Florida counties, school starts in exactly 10 days. ( and yes, in most European countries school starts around or after September 15).
In case you are running around from store to store shopping for school supplies, new uniforms and the like, please be reminded that what really counts for your child is CONNECTION & PRESENCE. Parents get caught in the endless chores, tasks and housework; they get overwhelmed by their self- imposed busy-ness in the name of “good parenting”, and forget what their children really need to feel “ready for school.”
Here’s what your child needs from you in the remaining 10 days before school starts:
- Special Time with you
- Play Time with you, and alone, or with friends
- Outside Time
- Unstructured Time
- Slow Time (nothing planned for the day)
- Family Time (cooking, dancing, walking, movies)
- Alone Time
- Listening Time from you
- Sleep Time.
Don’t fall for the trap of doing, doing, doing; rushing, rushing, rushing.
Give your child YOUR TIME , and your full presence; you won’t regret it.
