Be Present with Your Family....

Turn off those cell phones, close the laptops, and forget about household responsibilities for a while. The most important and most valuable thing we can offer to those around us is our time. Make rules that allow for you to connect with your family, i.e. no cell phones at the dinner table. Be open, especially with your children, and allow for open communication at all times. Parents need to listen to their kids and spouses need to listen to one another. Encourage your kids/spouse to share their daily experiences with you as well as any concerns or issues they are experiencing. It is about mutual respect for all your loved ones.  The more respect you show to those around you, the more you will receive. And doing so also teaches those around you the importance of respecting all members of the community, and from that flows respect for society and the environment. It all starts at home, and it can all start with you, just take time...
