I fear I'm not.
What does this mean, to be emotionally available?
I'm just so spent, all the time.

I ask myself the same question. I think it means to not be constantly preoccupied so that when one of your kids is talking to you, your brain is distracted or somewhere else.
I don't think it's possible to do that 24/7 but I tell myself that I should have a few hours each day when I'm not saying "just a second", "what?" but to actually really listen with full-on attention. If it's hard to do at home, sometimes taking a child for a drive or shopping helps.

Listen, express interest, validate, share excitement about values, events, expereinces,
Create experiences together, spend quality time together - it takes a lot to be a good parent
Great parenting books available
and Look at good role models in your community.
Try to follow their example.
The fruit pay much dividend!! (and the opposite is true too)
I heard a commercial on the radio: show me a parent who cares, and I will show you a child who can.
Kids will grow happy, resilient, optimistic, appreciative, with correct parenting.
Kids who are not nurtured develop image conflicts, social and emotional issues and need therapy, now, later or both ;-)
Being a parent is a responsibility. It takes time, effort, enegry, focus - what can I do to Improve my parenting.
