SAY “FOR A MINUTE” INSTEAD OF “IN A MINUTE”

Many times your children will ask you to read a book, play a game , build some Lego or bake a cake and you may say, “In a minute.”

This usually means that you put it off and may even totally forget about your child’s request and you probably end up  NOT doing what you told your child you would do.

So next time think, “For a minute” and go over and interact with your child “For a minute.”

Magically, when you do this, you will find yourself there for more than a minute and your kids will love you forever ! 🙂
