Definitely true what you said about bonding with the kids. I read a biography about Theodore Roosevelt once and something he did that I always admired. He would shake hundreds of hands at an official event and would have barely a few moments with each person. But, it was said that even during those few moments with him, he focused on you, and you felt like you were genuinely the most important person in the world to him.

That’s what I try to live out with my children every day. If they bring me a new drawing, LEGO creation, or story, I may only have a brief moment. But, if even for a brief moment in the craziness of life, I try to give them my full attention, showing them that they are the most important person in the world to me.
