My golden nugget parenting advice is to just be present. It sounds so simple, but it's actually not so simple when you have other things going on. Just to have eye contact, look at them, speak to them, and if there's an issue going on, you just have to be there 100%. I notice that sometimes if I'm saying something to them and I'm on the phone or on the computer, it just does not translate. I really have to stop what I'm doing, get in there, look at them in the eyes and have that connection. That would be my golden nuggets.
