Time. Investing your time with a child can be the greatest act you do for your future. You won’t see the dividends now. The impact is seen much later.
Consider — who spent time with you as a child? What good memories do you have from that experience? Pass those memories on…
Parents too!
No matter how hard the day (or night), or how many times you’ve put together that Duplo/Lego, or cleaned up after an old-fashioned board-game, your time is worthwhile when it’s invested in your child. Even a few minutes are good for that child. The minutes add up to hours… and hours together are a great investment.
The memories you’re making together are never wasted. It might feel futile now, but it’s not. Really.
