Learnt something else new from Gabor Mate. Attunement.

Being present for your child emotionally, not just physically, is extremely powerful. So powerful that it actually affects the child negatively (long term) when the parent looks away first in meaningful gazes.

Ugh. I am probably guilty of this. Quality time is more than just sitting down with my child and giving her undivided attention. How I disengage is so important as well.
