The Need for Focused Attention

"Every child needs focused attention -- genuine encounter -- to feel loved. Your child is likely to view continual distancing -- concern with the past, future, schedules, and tasks -- as lack of love. He can only feel lovable if you take time to be fully with his person. Make a habit of being open to the wonder of your child in the here-and-now. Check yourself frequently on your focused attention rating."
