Invest Time With Your Kids

As a wise parent once said, "You never spend time with your kids; you invest it."

Studies reveal that average time parents spend with their kids has drastically declined 10 to 12 hours.  "Does it really matter how much amount of time I spend with my children?", you would probably ask. After all, your teens probably doesn't want you to be always nosing around in their daily activities. And there is no need for a 24/7 "security guard" or "body guard" anymore the moment they reached their teenage years.  So what's the big deal?

As you raise your children, like everyone else, they need your love.  And the amount of time you invest with your kids reveal that they're receiving love from you.

Investing time with your children means that your are using one of your scarcest resources.  And I believe that it is worth investing your time with with your kids for a fact that you're building a lifetime relationship, and there will be no regret for doing so.  You are in fact, adding value to the lives of your kids.  "Spending" time with your kids might not be more enticing, but if you see it as an "investment", you and your teen will find more joy rather than out of obligation in your life.

And you'll be glad you did the right thing.  Enjoy your time with your kids.
