Connecting with our children…If you’re anything like me as a parent, the days are busy and overfull with work commitments, packing lunches and tracking down stray socks. So, it’s hard to know when and how to connect with our children. Is a hug enough? A special trip to the milk bar? A knock-knock joke? A big tickle? The internet is loaded with tips on connecting with your children in meaningful, easy and fun ways. 

Here is just one example: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/5-ways-to-connect-with-your-child_b_8197978

If you look closely this week, you’ll see that I’m sporting two braids, thanks to my twelve year old. She moved towards me and tried to initiate connection: and I accepted, despite any vanity! Our children will connect with us, even when we are at our busiest, it just takes a little energy to notice and accept. 

Go well, Em.
