One of the basic rules of parenting is that parents should spend enough time with their children. This is the way for parents to show that they are o their children.
The children, in turn, would feel love, and a strong parent-child relationship develops that is mutually beneficial.

Having said that, it is sad to note that most parents do not spend enough time with the childen. This is evident especially in urban areas where parents are too busy to spend much time with the children.

The main reason is, of course, parents’ work commitments especially in these hard times. In most households both parents work to support the family. Often, this is necessary because of the high cost o living. In other cases, mothers opt for a career as they find the role of a home maker too restricting. When parents get too occupied with their careers, there’s certainly less time available to be with their children.

It is true that parents work hard with the aim of providing a better life for the family, but they seem to forget that material comforts alone cannot make a child happy. They need love and emotional guidance. They take for granted that the children are happy because they have provided them with a comfortable life.

What can parents do in order to spend more time with the family? Parents can start by rescheduling their activities with the aim of spending more time at home. Maybe they could avoid working overtime unless absolutely necessary.
