“Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.”

So true. And I see parents on their cell phones. The sad looks on their children's little faces speak volumes. This is an epidemic. When I see parents with no phone in their hands talking, laughing, interacting with their child, I also see a bright and happy child getting their emotional needs met by their loving parents who are letting them know they are important - and loved ❤
