The two most important tools of parenting are time and touch. Believe me, both are essential. If you and I hope to release from our nest fairly capable and relatively stable people who can soar and make it on their own, we'll need to pay the price of saying no to many of our own wants and needs in order to interact with our children... And we'll have to keep breaking down the distance that only naturally forms as our little people grow up.Time and Touch. Listen to your boys and girls, look them in the eye, put your arms around them, hug them close, tell them how valuable they are.
'A righteous man who walks in his integrity- how blessed are his sons after him'. Proverbs 20:7
