Today I had my first session of the year with my Life Coach. It’s so good to get back into it now that I’ve had some time off. We started talking about my values and really what things in life are most important to me.

The first thing that always comes to mind as my values are my kids. I know that no matter what career decision or direction I take throughout life, I want plenty of time to be with them as they grow up. What I mean by this is that I don’t want to be “those” parents that are so career focused that my kids are off getting into trouble and loosing their core values because mom and dad are too busy to notice what is going on.

As I was explaining this to my Life Coach, she said one line that said it all. She said kids spell love as this…. T.I.M.E. Isn’t that the truth? I couldn’t agree more. It’s the point that I was trying to get at, and now this thought has been running through my head all day. Kids, more than anything, love having their parents attention. In fact, kids need their parents attention.

In all, its such a good reminder for us parents out there. Your kids want you. It’s worth so much more than any material thing that you could every possibly give them.
