I say Hello.

It's so easy to be caught up in finishing things up when your kids or your husband come home from school or work.  I know I have to very consciously close my computer and carefully schedule phone calls to make sure I'm not on either one when my kids come home.  I want to be available to them and give them my full attention.  I definitely have days where I fall short of my own expectations but I think this list is an excellent reminder of how to give the people you love your full attention and key moments of the day.

Here are the top 10 ways NOT to greet your child (or your husband):

You're on the phone
You're texting
You're on your computer
You're checking your calendar
Asking what homework they have
Correcting them as soon as you see them
Bringing up something they recently did wrong
Not making eye contact with them
Not smiling at them
Letting your bad mood make you grouchy with them
