A Parenting Disconnect
As a mom of a 20-month-old boy(I know. I did that thing that parents do. I gave you his month age.) I find myself constantly bombarded with what’s next? What’s he supposed to be doing? What is expected at this age? Does he have the vocabulary he should? Is he tall enough? Does he listen? Does he have everything he needs to succeed? The list could really go on for quite some time if I let it.
But one thing I find myself doing constantly is looking these things up with my phone while my son is awake. I am constantly trying to find the best toys for his age, or fun activities to take him to. Which I know isn't a bad thing, but I find myself missing things. I find myself looking up from my phone to smile at him while he plays or is trying to talk to me. It bothers me, but yet I cannot seem to fix it.
So, tonight I was watching a show called, “The Bold Type.” It has become one of my favorites and I love the many different topics they hit on. The girls are funny and it gives me nostalgia for my home of 12 years, NYC. Anyways, in the episode, they’re having a party where cellphones are banned. Going off the grid. It got me thinking about how I live my life with my son. And how just maybe I should also try “going off the grid” more often throughout the day.
So, tomorrow is a new day and I am going to make a promise to my son to be a more present mom. They are only so little for so long and these young ages are filled with such wonder. I want to see his joy and his bright eyes. His soft curly hair. For each day they grow a little older.
