[quote=walterwhite]I don’t think it’s the showing up per se, but a feeling of healthy connectedness. Showing up might be part of it but it could manifest in other ways. I can’t help believing that really listening to kids and connecting with what’s going on in their heads is probably predictive of better outcomes.[/quote]
I totally agree. I didn’t mean as literal as just showing. I mean everything that goes along with parents that show up. If you’re too busy to show up, you’re probably too busy to connect with your kids, etc. I don’t know the exact relation of SK and his kids, but seeing how he actually take the time to show up for his kids events means he would have more than enough time to be there for his kids when they need him.
