Did anyone else see this adorable moment from @leigh_out_loud? If you haven't, make sure to go watch the full clip. ❤️⁠ ⁠ We're around our kids constantly: driving them, feeding them, managing logistics, playing referee between sibling arguments. But presence and connection are not the same thing. Connection is when you look at your kid and they feel it. When you're fully there, phone down, enjoying being with them. That's the difference between being in the same room and actually being together. And that connection- that feeling of being truly seen - is what fuels your child's cooperation, emotional resilience, and sense of belonging.⁠ ⁠ Research also shows us, over and over, that children with an involved father develop stronger emotional security, self confidence, and social skills. Having an engaged father matters in the short term and the long term.⁠ ⁠ This clip reminded me that some of the most meaningful parenting moments aren't the big ones. They're the small moments when a child feels, "My parent sees me."⁠ ⁠ If there's a dad, partner, grandparent, or caregiver in your life who would appreciate that reminder today, send this to them.

The psychologist continues to break down specific examples of the dad's engagement, reinforcing her point.

She reflects on her own experiences, making the message relatable and offering a simple solution for connection.

“I know when I'm feeling disconnected from my kids. I often have to plan something big. And ironically, I go to my phone, maybe I think, oh, I'm going to order them that thing they want, or maybe I can plan a special adventure for the weekend. What's around where I live? When honestly, if I just put down my phone and notice something they're interested in and go be with my kid instead of just around my kid.”

“I think it's so clear in this video that these are the moments that really matter.”
