Before I could even raise my hand, one family had already asked my question: “My kids can only connect with me through me performing a task for them. What do I do?” The moderator responded: “People want a connection on their own terms. If you can replace that task with something you both enjoy, maybe you could find a better connection.” My brain imploded. All of those times my brother wanted me to swap out a tape was just him trying to be a part of my life? I’m such an idiot!
