Your Children Need Your Presence More Than Your Presents

“Your children need your presence more than your presents” – Jesse Jackson
The most important gift any child could receive is the continual presence of his or her parents in their life.
As a parent, giving your time, energy, and love to your child is one of the most important things you can do.
Children grow up too quickly. Don’t let their childhood slip by without being involved and letting your actions show your child how much your care.
