In honor of Father's Day I wanted to share this video with you produced by a friend of mine, Corbyn Tyson. This is just one of many videos as part of the Fatherhood Project on Soul Pancake.
We all want to know the secret to being great parents, but so often in our search I think we miss the obvious; spending quality time with them, listening to them when they talk to us. My dad didn't have tons of money to take me to all the expensive parks and give me all the lessons I wanted, but when I talked he listened.
I've watched my husband grow as a parent with each child. With the first one he was scared. There was so much we didn't know. Today he is much more relaxed. He understands the importance of spending time with our children and making memories that will last a lifetime. It's never too late to make your children a priority.
