A Time for Presence Over Presents: Honoring What Matters Most

As the festivities draw near, we're reminded of the power of presence over presents. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of gifts, gatherings, and the never-ending to-do lists. But for highly intuitive kids—and us as parents—the season offers an opportunity to focus on something far more meaningful: the gift of presence.
Presence isn’t about what’s wrapped and waiting under the tree. It’s about being truly here, connected, and creating moments that nourish the heart.
Whether your family celebrates with big traditions or small, quiet gestures, what matters most is the love, connection, and memories you create together.
For many, this time of year is also a moment to honor the presence of those who are no longer physically with us. Our highly intuitive kids often feel this connection deeply. You can encourage them to light a candle for a loved one, share a special story, or reflect on the ways their presence continues to inspire and comfort.
When we focus on presence over presents, we teach our children that the holidays aren’t about things—they’re about the people and moments that truly feed the soul. This perspective isn’t just for this season; it’s a gift we carry into the new year and beyond.
This holiday season, let’s embrace the moments that truly matter—connection, love, and the memories we create with our highly intuitive children. Together, we can nurture the power of presence, not just during the holidays but throughout the year, helping our families thrive in ways that truly feed the soul.
Wishing you and your family a season filled with warmth, joy, and meaningful moments.
