There’s nothing more heartbreaking to me than the stories of divorced adults who choose not to spend time with their children. To me, building a relationship with your child is a precious gift and nurturing that relationship by creating memories is an important part of building a life well-lived.Yes, having children means sometimes putting their needs first. It means choosing activities that are inclusive of children, that are fun for both adults and kids, and that honor your role as their parent. I believe that we choose our parents—that each soul says, “yes, I want them,” and therefore, I hold the deep, spiritual bond between parent and child as sacred.I wrote this item on my list to call in someone who also holds the parent-child bond as sacred, who knows what a treasure it is to be a parent, and who lives with the desire to build a deep relationship—and amazing memories—with their children.
