Do more things with your children

Sometimes we underestimate just how much of our attention our children need. As parents we tend to plant our kids in front of the television to keep them out of the way so we can get some things done or just to get some peace and quiet. The other day I was walking through the living room en route to the kitchen when I sat down for a while. When I got up to leave my kids started begging me to stay and watch with them. I was a bit surprised by the pleas and when they insisted I postponed my other activities and sat with them until the end. The film was “Flushed away” which they really enjoy because it’s set in London and we went on holiday there last year. The animation is great and the film itself is fun to watch. I think I will try and do that more often. The joy on their faces is something I’d like to see more often.
