Given the chance, every parent would likely go back and do at least a few things differently with their kids. The reason is obvious: Mistakes are a big part of parenting and, as you grow, it’s natural to reflect on the things you could’ve said or done more often. Played more often. Enjoyed being needed. Taken a greater interest in hobbies. We recently asked a group of dads to reflect on what they wish they did more with their kids when they were little. Their answers spoke to a simple truth: The thing about time is that once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. So, use it wisely. We could all use that reminder.
