Why don't parent's put down their phones, stop watching TV, and get on the ground and play with their children?
E-mails can wait, Facebook is a time waster, TV is mind-numbing - but playing with your child is fun and rewarding. It is a wonderful bonding experience.
Just the other day, Erik said that all I do when I get home from work is stomp around "worried" about getting Roark to go to sleep. What he fails to notice is that for the first hour to two hours I'm home is that I am playing on the floor with Roark. After an exhausting day - I do not have the freedom or liberty to go sit out in the backyard, relax, play on my phone - no. I have to play with my son. I want to play with my son.
It is a shame that more parents don't feel that way.
