One of the things that I think about often as a parent and as an extremely busy adult is this – what small things am I missing that I need to be doing to show my children that I love them and to let them know that they are the best things that happened to Mom and Dad? Too often we let the busyness of life overcome us. This speaks to the topic of intentionality and doing things that are representative of what you value in life…your priorities. The best application of the small step approach in growing as a parent is to be deliberate about spending time with your children. And when we’re busy, that often means choosing not to do something at work or in another demanding area of your life.
