Strong Dads

26/09/2025

If you strip it right back, our kids only really need three things:
💙 To be loved
🛡️ To feel safe
🎉 To be celebrated

The secret ingredient…Time. Not money, not stuff.

⏳ Little time = little influence.
💸 You can’t buy back lost time.
🪄 Out of quantity time come those magic quality moments.

Our kids only have one childhood, and we only get one shot at being their parent in these years. Deadlines, contracts, and to-do lists will always be there. Our children won’t.

So today, before you say “no”… pause and think: why not?
Because being there, truly being present without screens, is what shapes the love, safety, and celebration they’ll carry for life.

My challenge to you these holidays: 🖼️ Reframe how you see time with your kids. It’s not a sacrifice. It’s the investment of a lifetime.

Love, Si
