There is no greater time as the one you spent with your children. It is of essence that you should be involved in every stage of your children life and development.
It is when your child sees you as a friend that such can relate with you as the one that can be trusted for them to reveal the secret burdening them. Parents who develop more time for their children will always get the best out of them. It is your ability in getting so close to them that you will be able to understand their thoughts and also share their silent pains.
Life is too dynamic for us to live our children to fare. Our children do not need our money even if we provide their needs. What they need is our love, care and attention at all times. Do not allow your business or work to take you away from their life.
If you want your children to be your best friend; give them your time and they will go all out to make you proud. Do not live a vacuum in the life of your children because if you do, the enemy could set in and if such is done, it might take time to recover their heart from the influence of peer groups and the negative things that will take over their mind.
Quality time is needed if you want to get the best out of your children. Let them see you as their trusted alliance. And the best friend they could trust. Do not become too authoritarian with your children. If you do, you create fear within them and this could result in resentment of them around you.
Our children need our love at all time. There are tender and we should treat them as such. This does not mean we would not rebuke them but in doing so, let it be with love and not treating them as if they are not human.
A child that has the love of both parents will always have a balance life when it comes to parenting but that which have a one sided or not at all, with time, such will play out itself. Let us be the best friends to our children and this we can do by spending quality time with them.
