Your kids won’t always remember the advice you gave them, but they’ll never forget how you showed up for them.
As parents, we spend a lot of time teaching and preparing our kids for life. And that’s a good thing. But when they’re grown and on their own, they probably won’t remember most of what we said.
They’ll remember when we showed up to their games and recitals. They’ll remember the ice cream runs, coffee dates, and burgers after a tough day. They’ll remember the late nights we spent listening, the times we held them as they cried, and the moments we celebrated their achivements.
They talk about how their parents believed in them, loved them, and were there for them
Your kids won’t remember everything you told them but they’ll always remember how you were present for them.
