The biggest regret a parent can have is spending too much
time at work when the children were young.
Spending family quality time has been decreasing through the years due
to the demands of modern life. A new
survey says that parents and children spend less than eight hours together in
total each week.
During the week, the amount of time parents and their children
spend time together average to just 36 minutes as families try to work between
work, chores, school and extra-curricular activities. Even when families are together, most of the
time they are spent sitting in silence while watching TV, reading a book, or
playing computer games. Weekends are
slightly better, as family spend on average of two hours and twenty minutes on
both Saturdays and Sundays.
As parents, it is easy to forget that their little ones are
young and it’s easy to imagine your child being that age forever. The only real time that families spend time together
is when they go on holiday and vacations.
They key is to schedule time with your children and show
that they are important. By taking 10-15 minutes to bond with your children can
have a huge impact in the future.
The pace of modern life can distance family members, but we
urge families to reestablish bonds and connections with their family members
and create precious memories.
