Today’s families are busier than ever. In many families, both parents work outside of the home while trying to maintain some semblance of organization inside the home. And parents aren’t the only ones with packed schedules; on a given night, kids are routinely being shuttled to sports practices, music and dance lessons and a host of other after-school activities. With so much going on, it’s easy to get wrapped up in handling life’s day-to-day challenges and lose sight of spending quality time with your child. While you may feel like there are never enough hours in the day to get things done, not spending enough quality time with your child can have detrimental effects on his bond with you, his well being and his school success.
