Description

At The Show Up Dad Foundation, we often say “time flies,” and I truly feel it in my home. My 19-year-old is busy editing her photography, my 12-year-old is deep into the metaverse, and my 10-year-old is having a blast with Marvel universe characters.


In these precious moments, I strive to be present and engaged with my kids. Here are three ways I try to savor our time together:


1. **Engage Fully:** I remind myself to cherish every moment with my 10-year-old. Studying the word of God helps me understand what we owe our children according to scripture. They are a gift from God, and I want to honor that.


2. **Unplug from Technology:** With three kids, life can get hectic. I find that disconnecting from tech leads to more meaningful interactions and allows us to reclaim our time together.


3. **Create Joyful Memories:** Prioritize fun activities, whether it’s a weekend outing, a museum visit, or trying something new together. These shared experiences create lasting memories that we’ll cherish for years to come.
