I take children seriously. Ask about their feelings, drop down to eye level so I can actually look them in the eyes, listen patiently even when they're rambling, remember details they share so when next I see them & bring it up, their eyes light up because they feel seen & known
When I chose Arizona for my birthday everybody was confused. “WTF is out there” when I got back everybody was like “that shit looked lit” yall gotta broaden your horizons. Domestic trips are not horrible. Get off social media and have a mind of your own.
