Beautiful tip. I would also add that taking an interest in your children's passions can make a big impact.

A lesson I learned early on in parenting -- being there physically with my daughter didn't necessarily mean really being "present" with her. I would find myself distracted by the events and stress of my workday, or worrying about things that needed to get done. I wasn't really fully with her even though I was physically present. So my ability to really listen, be spontaneous and playful and talk meaningfully with her was severely limited. But when I decided to do something to nourish myself and take care of myself physically, emotionally and/or spiritually before being with her, I found my experience with her much more gratifying and fun. Here are two things I tried that worked really well: playing the piano for a few minutes and creating beautiful nourishing music, talking about what I was feeling with someone on the way home to get clear from upsets from the day. It can be different for different people, and as a coach I love working with my clients to find what is nourishing and pleasurable for them. Bottom line is that I am nourished I am more available to others and that feels really good!
