As always, the writing was beautiful and extremely informative, both for me, who am not a mother, and for all mothers in the world and all parents who learn how to raise their children and care for them. You are a wonderful mother and I have seen how you patiently listen to your children and teach them life lessons. I am proud of you and I am happy that I had the pleasure of knowing you. 🙏

The demands we have on us as mothers is overwhelming and unending. And yet, my most important desire in life is to have the best relationship with my children - not my phone - that I can for the entirety of my life.

You provided very interesting feedback from children. It’s eye opening. This is certainly the case for kids and really all of those around us. Thanks for putting together this well written piece that brings awareness to us all.

Very well said. Our own lack of presence affect those surrounding us.
