22. Be Present In The Moment

This is an issue that only affects the most recent generation of parents. When you were growing up, it wouldn't even cross the minds of your parents to grab a photo or a video of your every move and upload it onto social media so the whole world can see it. Nowadays, every 'first' in a child's life becomes public property. Their first smiles, first words, and first steps are uploaded onto the internet for posterity. Some parents even create social media profiles for their children!

Try to remember that your child or baby has never asked to become a social media star, and don't get so caught up in looking at them through a lens that you forget to watch them through your own eyes. Photos and videos are fine mementos, but the way you see them when you're looking at them without a screen in a way is entirely different. Those are the moments that truly create memories, and the memories should be yours and yours alone.
