Take a second and dwell on the details from Christmas when you were four years old. The shining lights, colorful bows, that toy you loved so .... it’s all a little fuzzy, isn’t it? Childhood memories are like that, a remembrance that is more a feeling than a detailed report of the exact goings on. For parents, this is useful. As we get so caught up in the details — in getting the exact presents, the perfect cake, a day without colds or sickness — we can sometimes miss the big picture. Is there love, engagement, a sense of safety and togetherness? That’s the stuff that childhood memories are really made of. It’s not all that complicated after all.
