đ€Day 8 of the 12 Days of Presence Challenge! Your presence is the greatest present you can give your child. For todayâs challenge, weâre making it 100% about themâbecause when we let our kids lead, weâre not just spending time with them, weâre showing them that their ideas and preferences matter. Letting your child or teen take the lead creates space for connection on their terms. Itâs a way of saying, âI value you, I hear you, and I want to spend time doing what matters to you.â These moments, no matter how small, remind them that theyâre seen, loved, and deeply valued. đ€Todayâs Tip: Let Your Child Lead Spend 12 minutes letting your child choose the activity. âą For younger kids, it might be playing pretend, coloring, or showing you their toys. âą For older kids, it could be a favorite game, activity, or just chatting about something they love. âą For teens, it might be watching a short clip they like, listening to their favorite song, or talking about whatâs important to them. The goal isnât about what you doâitâs about following their lead and giving them your full attention. If you havenât started the challenge yet, today is the perfect day to jump in. Itâs easy, fun, and completely child-led. To everyone whoâs been joining daily, I love hearing about your moments of connectionâletâs keep it going! đ«¶đ€
