It’s one of the most memorable lines from one of the most iconic movies to ever explore the relationship between fathers and their children- Field of Dreams.
There’s something special in the simplicity of a game of catch. You can do it without a ton of thought or concentration. That leaves space for connection. And the simple back and forth motion of a ball being tossed back and forth can also serve as the perfect backdrop and catalyst for a meaningful conversation between you and your kids.
It’s a powerful reminder that the greatest gift you can ever give your kids is the same as it’s been since the dawn of creation- your time. Simply being there for them is the most impactful way to have a profound effect on the lives of your family.
As any old timer will gladly tell you, your kids growing up is a “blink and you’ll miss it” event in life. When they think back on their time with you, how will they remember it?
This Father’s Day, Hair Saloon wants to remind dads to make time for the little things. Amid the pressures and responsibilities of adulthood, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and lose focus on what matters most. Take 15 minutes out of your day for a game of catch, or a bike ride around the block.
If Field of Dreams taught us anything, it’s that all you need to create a memorable moment is a dad, a kid, and a baseball.
