If you don’t listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won’t tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.

– C.M. Wallace

Children value every moment shared with their parents. Showing interest in their small concerns builds trust and ensures they’ll open up about bigger matters later in life.
