Part 16- Little Time

Your little counts down the minutes (sometimes even seconds which is what me do with me daddy/me caregiver) until you are free to spend time with him/her. A little holds onto that promise of quality time with you as if it were gold or diamonds. He/she longs to feel important to you, and that he/she is the center of your world. It's hard sometimes, but your little understands that he/she cannot be your only focus 100% of the time. (me have me daddy attention all the time) That is why, when you commit to spending a certain amount of time with your little, you should always do your best to keep your little as your only focus during that time. Bonus Tip: When your busy with work and other tasks, you should do something to let your little know that, even then, you are thinking about him/ her. Send a simple text, an email, or leave a message on your littles phone during your lunch break, or in- between meetings/classes; it will mean more to him/her than you could ever imagine.

After waiting for what seems like forever (in princess/prince time of course), her/his time with you has finally come. During her/his time, she/he has the expectation that you are there for her/him...and only her/him. For caregivers this is not the time to check emails, play on your phone, take calls, or become easily distracted by other things. It will show your little that you do not value time spent with him/her.

If you feel like things are necessary, for whatever reason you try to schedule them for before or after her/his time. A little would rather have your full attention for less time, than half your attention for more time. Checking ____ while your little tells you about his/her day doesn't seem like a big deal to you, for your little; it feels like that thing is more important than she/he is. Over time, continuing to neglect your littles need for your attention will push your little away from you, and she/he could seek out attention in other ways or through other people. Be smart with your time, and plan ahead to make room for him/her in your daily schedule. A little should be understanding if it truly is a work emergency, but always try to make up that time with your little when you are finished.
