[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]feel better?[/quote] Hopefully, parents won't use this study to justify minimal time spent with their children. It makes sense that quality time trumps quantity, but how about giving our kids a large quantity of quality time? From years spent educating children, I see far too many children who rarely see their parents. They're dropped off at school around 7:30 and picked up from after-school care around 6. In a recent meeting with a single mom who works full-time and is going through a divorce from her 11 year old son's step-dad (yes, this child has had two father figures in his life, and mom now has a new boyfriend), the mom expressed her frustration that her son is doing so poorly in school and required two weeks of in-patient psychiatric care. Not saying this scenario is typical, but it's much more frequent than it should be. On a basic level, this child is not being parented with the loving guidance and care that he needs.[/quote]
