Taking a break from my to-do list to spend quality time with my 5-year-old daughter was a special moment. She was working on her first puzzle and needed some help. I took 30 minutes to teach her and assist with assembling the pieces. The smile on her face when she touched the completed puzzle filled me with joy.
I captured the moment in a photo and used AI generative art with Midjourney to surround her with colorful butterflies. Though it seemed like a small thing to me, helping her with that puzzle meant the world to her. The next one she did completely independently! Sometimes little moments like this mean so much more than crossing things off our task list. Slowing down for quality time with children should always take priority. The memory of her joy and sense of accomplishment still makes me smile.
