Spending a quality time with the kids is very important because it is not only about spending time with them but it involves your communication, interaction, activities, laughter and concerned time that you spend with them. In case of the kids quality matter more than the quantity no matter you are sitting with your kids for whole of the day but if there isn’t any good interaction between you and them then the day has certainly been wasted. Quality always comes with communication, doing the activities which raises closeness and by getting involved in productive and recreational actions along with the kids. Having one meal together preferably the dinner is a good idea to spend a good time with the kids. Ask them about their whole day summary and try to make the atmosphere lively on the table. Parents should keep this in mind that spending time with kids doesn’t mean only watching television or playing with them it rather means much more and that is to talk to them and to have a good chat with them about their feelings, friends, aspirations, fears or insecurity or problems. Quality time has three main aspects – Communication, Compassion and Concern.
I agree and will remember these three C's. I am a working mother and always try to spend as much time as possible with my daughter. And sometimes because of stress, I even shout at her very bitterly.
Yes , Just simply spending time with kids is my biggest concern I have been following many articles , but due to my busy schedule cant give much attention to my kid. Please suggest further!!!
Since you are busy with work, you could try to keep checking on your child from your workplace. You could stay in touch with her through messaging throughout the day. Make sure to show your love to her while talking to her. Whatever little time you get to spend with your daughter should be made use of in the best possible way. It should not have you or her using your cell phones. During the time you do get to spend with each other, talk about each other's day. You should open up with her as well.
