Children evaluate how much they matter to each parent through the lens of what that parent is culturally scarce on. Kids judge mom's importance by what she does — meals, pickups, laundry — practical caregiving. Kids judge dad's importance by whether he gives them his time, because time is what dads are most short on. The implication: the most valuable currency changes by relationship.
