The magic of just sitting on the floor

from Parent Pause · host Kim McCabe

Summary of Kim’s audio:Sometimes the most powerful parenting moment isn't a big talk or a brilliant response, it's just sitting on the floor. Not teaching, not multitasking, just being there while your child lines up dinosaurs or explains how two slugs are having a sleepover. You might be in baggy leggings and half-listening, but to them, you’re the centre of the universe. Presence doesn’t always look impressive, sometimes it’s quiet, ordinary, even a bit boring. But in that stillness, in simply being there, that’s love in action. This is a public episode.
