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.
